If men with assault rifles, body armor, grenades, who use military tactics in their operations are not soldiers, what do you call them? The DEA is a paramilitary force, soldiers in all but name.
- dfc 14y agoI don't know why I did not pick up on that subtext. It must have been the attack component that threw me off. It is nice to see that there are no rhetoric asymmetries in the "war on drugs." "If men with assault rifles, body armor, grenades, who use military tactics in their operations are not soldiers, what do you call them? " Usually a Special Weapons and Tactics team and in Canada I think they are known as Emergency Task Forces. Does the DEA deploy units with fragmentation and/or incendiary grenades?
