Second Central American War

Military: War

U.S. invades Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela. The War is a disaster that costs many American lives and leaves thousands of troops to struggle home on their own.

Started by the druglords attacks, the Drug Wars Are Armed with a proper excuse, the Gang promptly sent units of the U.S. Army south to wipe out these "scourges of the innocent," and "incidentally" conquer the ground they were standing on. In response to the U.S. interventions, the beleaguered SouthAm "drug nations" started a savage guerrilla war that rapidly escalated to Vietnam levels. The Afghan drug lords went untouched; the U.S. didn't really have the resources at the time to fight that war on two fronts, and the Neo-Sov's threat to get involved cooled their heels.   At first, it looked like the U.S. Army would simply walk right over the SouthAm forces, much as they had decades ago in the Panama Canal Zone. But the SouthAm nations refused to stay put in their own countries, launching guerrilla attacks all over the continental U.S. and its satellite territories.
