Six Tips for Planning a Mercenary Invasion of a Tropical Island. Tip 1. Don't hire Foreign Mercenaries without checking their credentials; they might have overstated their experience. Tip 2. They could also be right-wing Klansmen and Nazis, which might not go over too well if your coup is supposed to install a leftist regime called the black revolutionary council. Tip 3. Make sure the captain of the ship hired to transport your mercenaries and their weapons isn't a federal informant. Tip 4. If you catch on of the ship's crew wearing a mini tape recorder under his t-shirt, you might want to ask whether your operation has been infiltrated. Tip 5. Advertising an invasion in advance by giving interviews to a radio news reporter is not recommended. Tip 6. Above all, if you're going to overthrow a third world regime, make sure it isn't on friendly terms with the United States Government. Making these mistakes could leave you with a lot of time on your hands to think about how you could have been so stupid. Just ask the squad of heavily armed American and Canadian mercenaries who got together in New Orleans in 1981 to stage the Caribbean coup that became known as the Bayou of Pigs invasion. I did. This is what I found out. Media >, [PU: Wiley]<
