Criticism of the Mexican Army's role and economic activities

An opinion piece argues that the Mexican Army has deviated from its constitutional mandate to defend national sovereignty and assist the civilian population. The author contends that the military is increasingly operating as a profit-seeking corporation rather than a public service institution.

The text alleges that under the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the military hierarchy has been incentivized to engage in economic activities and wealth administration. The author claims this shift undermines the ethical and moral obligations of the soldiers, who are funded by taxpayer money intended for national security and public welfare.
