So… I’m no history major but as I recall, Nicaragua had a socialist government called the FMLN… Reagan hated socialism and hired Oliver North to arm and train El Salvadoran troops… it’s wasn’t very secret. We had military boots on the ground. Even now I believe that we have a base in Panama to train soldiers… it’s connected to West Point somehow.
But yeah, if shit’s going on places, we’re there.
I do not know how Predator explained our soldiers down there but it didn’t have to.
You must be young?
