Fuerza Armadas de Honduras

Me da una risa increíble cómo un tema tan ABSOLUTAMENTE IRRELEVANTE para Costa Rica se mantiene activo y con tantos posts. Qué es, que Honduras nos quiere invadir? :jajaja:

Por otro lado, como ya dijeron, cómo si tienen semejante arsenal no han podido resolver las cosas a lo interno? Cómo a nivel mundial Honduras sigue catalogado como uno de los países más PELIGROSOS que existen?

Será porque gastan tanto plata en pertrechos de guerra que el pueblo está en la lamentable miseria en que se encuentra?

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Armed forces say they've halted drug flights through [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL], prompting cautious optimism about progress in a nation with a dire public security record.
Security forces say they've reduced the number of aircraft transporting drugs through [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL] to nearly zero in 2014, compared to an estimated 12 each month the previous year, [URL="http://www.laprensa.hn/honduras/790212-417/narcovuelos-frenan-su-tr%C3%A1nsito-por-honduras"]local media reported[/URL], citing sources in the military.
Honduras was reportedly able to do so thanks to three mobile radar towers purchased from Israel for $30 million, as well as a new law passed last year, which allows for the shooting down of suspicious aircraft that do not comply with the military's instructions. Complemented by a flotilla of US gunboats off [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL]' Atlantic coast, this air shield has forced criminal groups to transport drugs through other countries, the Honduran military was quoted as saying.

While [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL]' air shield is undoubtedly good for security and follows a string of similarly positive developments, there are reasons to temper an optimistic outlook for the Central American country.
Notably, US ambassador to [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL] James Nealon [URL="http://www.laprensa.hn/honduras/789662-410/embajador-de-eua-resalta-avance-contra-el-narcotr%C3%A1fico"]recently said[/URL] that the flow of drugs through [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL] has been reduced "significantly" due to bilateral cooperation. While this may be the case, assessing the amount of illicit drugs passing through a country is never an exact science due to the trade's clandestine nature. Traffickers could very well be avoiding [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL], or else they may simply be using new routes and methods which have yet to be discovered.
Assuming the flow of drugs through [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL] has in fact been reduced, it's also worth questioning how much the military's air shield would have contributed to such a phenomenon. [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/component/tags/tag/66-honduras"]Honduras[/URL]' first radar [URL="http://www.proceso.hn/component/k2/item/6254.html"]became operational in March 2014[/URL], and [URL="http://www.insightcrime.org/news-briefs/honduras-approves-drug-plane-shoot-down-law-bolivia-set-to-follow"]the country approved the shoot-down law[/URL] two months prior to that -- and yet the military is claiming that within that amount of time, they have virtually eradicated drug flights.

This is, after all, a nation which registered the world's highest murder rate in 2014, [/FONT][/COLOR][URL="http://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015"]according to Human Rights Watch[/URL][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial].

Fuerza Armadas de Honduras

Sí, para garantizar la seguridad individual

No, para reducir el riesgo de incidentes violentos

Sí, son una cueva de profesores parásitos

No, son cunas del libre pensamiento

Sí, por el derecho a una muerte digna

No, por el respeto absoluto a la vida

En tendencia

Sí, podría dar un impulso económico

No, debido a las implicaciones morales y sociales negativas

Sí y también para la corrupción

No, por el riesgo de errores judiciales y la ética de la vida

Sí, por los beneficios económicos y de seguridad

No, debido a los potenciales riesgos para la salud y la sociedad
