Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit

The part about cutting an X shaped wound in their leg to perform field surgery is bull. Whoever wrote it says "Kaibiles are known for doing medical work on themselves in the line of fire. For example, most kabiles **perform this bull thing**.

Most? Are there some that don't? Maybe the smart ones don't do this because they'd probably continue to make sure that the person who just shot them is dead before starting to cut random X's on your body wherever you're bleeding. Anyway, I think that the statement is dumb enough and hasn't been confirmed a fact since 2007, we should remove this garbage? HERE HERE!!! Vote 1 Wgfcrafty (talk) 20:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this article is pretty poorly written. Anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of ballistics would know that a bullet fragments or greatly expands when it enters a body. Cutting an X and removing the bullet isn't possible. If for some reason a person was still alive after being shot, simply removing the bullet in the manner stated would do more harm than good. Stopping the massave blood loss would probably be a better idea. This article is very, very questionable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.9.121.123 (talk) 18:25, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recruitment of Kaibiles by Zeta Cartel

It is likely that a higher number of drop outs and failures from the training program join narcotrafficing organizations. There are six times as many people tested as there are who graduate from the program. It is possible for a successful graduate to get high wage work easily in legitimate security.RichardBond (talk) 22:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

US involvement?

The article includes a picture of US Navy troops in some kind of training exercise, without much explanation as to the context. What is the relationship between the US and the Kaibiles? 67.188.230.128 (talk) 02:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
