War on Drugs

In this Oct. 25, 2012 photo, soldiers burns marijuana plants at a plantation found during a reconnaissance mission near the town of Lombardia in Michoacan state, Mexico. Knights Templar, a quasi-religious drug cartel that controls the area and most of the state, monitors the movements of the military and police around the clock.
