Let me be the first to say that this is a horrible idea. Haiti needs a
unified police force, not a national guard. Perhaps a narcotics specialized force
and border/coast guard, but since these guys are all mixed up in those kinds
of crimes, it shouldn't be them. The issue should be solved by employment for
these men, confiscation of arms and jail for the leadership (if criminally
convicted which it sounds many were or could be based on recent acts).
