Samuel Walker and former Lt. Kevin Corley believed they were meeting with members of the Zetas drug cartel last weekend in Texas, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Instead, they were dealing with undercover federal agents who arrested the men along with another man, Shavar Davis, on Saturday in Laredo. A third suspect, Corley&#8217;s cousin Jerome Corley, was fatally shot during the arrests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to AKO, both soldiers are infantrymen in 4 Infantry Division&#8217;s 2d Battalion, 12th Infantry. They should have been suspicious when the undercover agents wanted weapons when, if they were real drug smugglers, they can just get their weapons from the BATFE. <\/p>\n<p>I had a squad leader in the 82d who went to work for the S-4 shop and got arrested, along with his LT, after I left the Division for trying to sell Claymore mines and LAW anti-armor weapons to undercover agents posing as white supremacists. If I remember correctly they got twelve years each in the Federal-Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what goes through these people&#8217;s minds. I guess they read too many books about mercenaries. If they can read. And you&#8217;d think a First Lieutenant would pipe up at some point and say &#8220;Buck Sergeant, this might get us thrown in jail, ya know. Maybe we shouldn&#8217;t do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It might turn out that they caught the PTSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SnafuDude sends us a link to Military.com which reports that two Fort Carson soldiers were arrested &hellip; <a title=\"Fort Carson soldiers arrested for plotting with Zetas\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29282\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fort Carson soldiers arrested for plotting with Zetas<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29282\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
