An ex-soldier has been arrested for the attack on the convoy of Chihuahua governor José Reyes Baeza. The PGR is saying that it wasn't an attempt on the governor's life. That may be the case, but it strains credulity to suggest that it wasn't supposed to be a message at the very least; otherwise, why not kill one of Reyes' escorts at his house, so as to avoid sparking a manic manhunt?
This is just one of approximately six billion recent criminal episodes that involve soldiers or ex-soldiers. I don't know if there's been an increase in criminal activity involving soldiers, or if I'm just paying more attention now, but I'd like to see some research on the subject that goes beyond the anecdotal.
