Description: Mexican drug cartels are shooting up the streets of Laredo and El Paso. Somali pirates are holding three U.S. tankers for ransom. The President of the United States is fed up and has what he thinks is a pretty bright idea -- to get hold of Colonel Charley Castillo and his merry band and get them on the case. Unfortunately, that will be difficult. Everybody knows that the President hates Castillo's guts and has just had him forcibly retired from the military. Castillo's men are scattered far and wide, many of them in hiding. There are also whispers that the President himself is unstable. How will it all play out? No one knows, but it's sure to be hazardous duty. (A satirical twist on the series inspired by MASH.).
