For some reason I have hear or read that the cartels in Mexico have wasted their talents in their war. I have heard from soldiers that the cartels hitmen are not the same. This means that the trajeitory is not the same or as before. The trajitory is not the same according to soldiers from the Mexican army. The cartels had better requets as hitmen when they reqruited people from the hoods. But the difference now is that the shootouts and things like that are now normalized that less hardcore people join to do those things were before those people were more of hood or hardcore peopel or criminals. The war between the cartels have taken a toll on the hoodlums, so much that many of their members are forced to join their organization in terms of fear of getting killed besides being hardcore criminals like they were before. They are also getting younger, way younger in or when you factor hitmen which are now teens sometimes in Cartel del Noreste organization but year after year or generation they are getting younger. So far many of the quality and recognizable membes have been killed in the Zeta vs Gulf Cartel war of 2010. Many of their quality memebers have been killed or arrested or both.
