“The Kaibil School is considered one of the most prestigious, vigorous, arduous military courses in Central America,” the release continues. “Their motto: ‘If I advance, follow me. If I stop, urge me on. If I retreat, kill me.’””

He goes on to document some facts that don’t appear in the SOCSOUTH release. You can read the article here.
