I do. I was there. Five years. Much of what you hear in "the narrative" about that time about US intervention, is flat out wrong.

I had a friend who's son was in Panama, he said the U.S. killed a shit ton of people and 90% of it was never even reported on.

This is a pretty good doc on Noriega and the Panama invasion.
This all was extensively NOT covered by the msm at the time, or later.
This will explain a lot about Panama
"The Panama Deception"

there were days.. where hundreds of folks would die in the battles.

There were many, many days like this, for years...

One day you'ed go up against Patista's, the next day, Sandinista's, the next day La Razzer's, the next day, FARC, then next some hybrid nascent cartel (this was the days of medellin, so cartel things were still fairly controlled and there were literately a 100 different revolutionary groups that would bubble up here and there) Even chased some shining pather's for a bit. .. Everyone was mowing down civilians at scale and absolutely everyone was running late night death squads, mostly the governments, but everyone was doing it.

rinse and repeat..


That is one of the main reasons the US got involved, contrary to popular belief, was to stomp that death squad shyt down.

Policy and public opinion at the time was: You can't have death squads, or the systems that support them , running around in your own back yard..(those old school republicans didn't take a lot of shit from anybody in the world back then... oh how things in Washington have changed over the years)

and there was still hard cold war busllshit with russia and the US all going on there. Everyone completely "overlooks": the terrible shit the USSR was doing there and always focuses on "the US fucked up those countries for drugs" narrative.


In operation "Just Cause", after the three weeks of the initial panama invasion, all the baddies (10's of thousands) ran off to hide out into the highlands and the jungles, out of the towns. Took months to track 'em all down and root them out. Massive fights took place. 'nam level of fighting. Real hard core stuff.

Short of any brief Iran/Contra writeups, which was really at the end of all this. I've never heard anything, once, about any of this over the years. "the cocaine wars" we called it back then... Since everything we ever did, always had some sort of cocaine element to it. Burn it, capture it, support it, transport it, deny it, control it...


All of this is totally forgotten to American history
