The Costa Rican government has agreed to allow the United States to place troops in that country to help in the battle against drugs.
The problem in Costa Rica is that there are several factors which lend it to use by drug cartels. First of all they have no army so there is no armed force to stop the cartels from coming in and having their way. Drug cartels are always quick to size up a situation and take advantage of weaknesses. Another weakness is that the country has many miles of unpatrolled coastline. This lends itself to drug trafficking. The vast amount of shoreline gives the drug cartels plenty of space to use to smuggle drugs into the country. Its borders are porus and poorly guarded so smugglers can move in and out of the country easily and at will.
The US is sending about 7,000 marines, 5 planes and 46 warships to the country for about a six month period. You can see by the large number of warships that our navy ring customers will have to do the brunt of the work. The Costa Rican legislature allowed US troops in by a 31-8 vote.
Our custom marine corps ring customers along with our navy ring customers should be able to help the Costa Rican government gain control of its land mass and the sea around it. While our air force ring customers should be able to help them out from the skies above the country.
