"The military is supposed to be a nameless, faceless entity," said David Shirk, director of the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute. "It's supposed to be an institution, not about personalities. Aponte's behavior deviates dramatically from the military culture."

That's the way it used to be when all the military had to do was protect the president. Things have changed. Mexico rallys behind heros and heros need personality. We havn't seen the end of Aponte.

Aponte has been doing this for a long time and if he leaves everything will get back to normal. We need him here in northern Baja to continue to speak out and tell it like it is. He has grande huevos!

Outspoken Mexican general being transferred

"The conflict culminated yesterday with the announcement that Gen. Sergio Aponte Polito, the outspoken commander of military forces in Baja California, is being transferred to Mexico City.

"...In a 21-page letter delivered to reporters Sunday, Aponte accused state law enforcement agents of corruption and said their bosses are upset that his military forces have upstaged them in the struggle against drug traffickers.

"...Yesterday, a terse Aponte offered no explanations as he told a few local media outlets that he was taking a new position in Mexico City as president of the Supreme Military Tribunal.

"...Aponte says that under his watch, soldiers have seized 539 metric tons of marijuana, 3,871 kilos of cocaine and 282 kilos of crystal methamphetamine. They have destroyed 800 clandestine airstrips and seized 1,243 vehicles, 1,583 weapons and 211,000 cartridges. They have made 1,388 arrests."
