Mexican Soldiers Interrupt Marine's FuneralMexican soldiers, concerned about the ceremonial (non-firing) rifles carried by US Marine escorts at the funeral of Marine Juan Lopez, as he was being buried with military honors in his birth town of San Luis de la Paz, Mexico, interrupted the funeral and ordered the pallbearers to return to their vehicle. (They refused.) [hat tip: Apostablog] One begins to see a pattern developing in Mexico.
Of course, I don't really blame the Mexicans for being afraid: two of our Marines, armed with rifles that don't fire, could probably take their whole army.

That is a definit flaw in leadership and complete ignorance of the matter. I am ashamed and embarrased of their actions. I lost good friends here in Fallujah and would hate to see their funerals be interrupted by lack of intelligence.
