Operation Just Cause

My buddy spent 4 years with one of the battalion’s that participated in the combat jump. He left 4 months before it.

December 1989, the "All-Americans," as part of Operation JUST CAUSE, conducted their first combat jump since World War II onto Torrijos International Airport, Panama. The paratroopers' goal was to oust a ruthless dictator and restore the duly-elected government to power in Panama.

I saw a post about JROTC, which made curious.



How many people have multiple generations that served in the military.

Mexico depicts Philadelphia street scenes in anti-drug ads

“The Mexican government is using video of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood in a national ad campaign to try to scare young people away from drugs”


“The spots never identify the city or neighborhood shown. But just how or why the Mexican government decided to use street scenes from the U.S. to scare Mexicans — who have their own drug problems — is not clear. Critics say the ads recycle scare tactics about drugs rather than offer help or treatment.”

I could not read the entire article. So I don’t now if they let the city know .
