The Brutal Truth Behind Cartel Hitman Training.. How old is the little dude over there? 13, 13. 13? That is young, isn’t it, to get involved in this – this game? Yes but the younger they are, the more they learn, and he likes it. And what do you guys want to do? We’re going to join the Gulf Cartel. The Gulf Cartel? You don’t want to study, youngin? No, that’s for little kids. So you don’t care for an education? No, nothing. Do you worry that you might not make it home? It’s difficult, it’s a very difficult thing because my life is on the line. There are two ways you can look at cartel hitmen: One: vile, brutal people who take pleasure in causing pain and suffering. Two: vulnerable teens manipulated into killing with the promise of power and money. Both are true. The reality of cartel hitmen is really sad. Kids as young as 10 are recruited from poverty-stricken backgrounds, promised the world, then made to kill and torture until they’re desensitized to violence.
