We, as Americans, have American troops in 150 foreign countries protecting their people, but we don't have American troops in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. It's time we show Republicans that as a Progressive, Liberal, Conservative Democrat, I believe we need to instruct our troops to say to the drug lords who are raping and killing their people that if you don't stop scaring these people to America, we're going to take you out. And we have drones to see you coming to the village to scare and rape your people.
