MOAB. That's a clear, but mistifying, deterrence-message.

The profits from a single drug boat making it in far outweigh the costs of rounding up the crews' families and telling them you'll cut off all their heads if they don't get in the boat and sail.

Okay?  Lets just keep doing the same thing then.  That's been working great.  I'm not saying this is some groundbreaking 'we're going to win this war on drugs thing' but I'd say it's a much greater deterrent than the status quo

So we should let them operate unimpeded because they might hurt us if we resist?

No, they should fear us.  Every enemy should fear us.  I'm tired of policy by weak dick cucks.  Maximum violence is the answer to anyone seeking our harm.

Direct covert strikes (complete destruction and elimination) on every upper echelon Mexican drug guy’s houses, buildings, and businesses should happen immediately.

Spend 30 minutes with the JTF-North guys down at Eagle Pass…. You’ll very quickly come to the conclusion we were doing TF3-10 in the wrong place.

Bring back Ding Chavez and John Clark...

In general, I'm strongly against "political signaling" by way of military action, but in this case, I'd say it was used appropriately.  Doesn't feel like they actually thought through the second and third order effects though. 

I feel like Tom Clancy already wrote this this story line...but @uhhello beat me to it...

I like how John Clark quoted the Sundance Kid. "Think You Used Enough Dynamite Butch?" At least in the book version.
