As a panamanian who's first memory was actually the invasion and having studied the issue in depth I have a lot of mixed feelings about the invasion. I am sincerely happy that the terrible regime was destroyed. But The death of so many fellow panamanians is something I can't call a "price worth paying", it just isn't. Those deaths are the result of stupid drug and foreign policy by the Reagan and Bush administrations. Important is that Panama is finally free of such regimes and of the US.

@motogpfan46 Look at 3:01 on the video. This is what I'm talking about. It's not about ego, it's about Respect.

@motogpfan46 Let me ask you how you would feel. You and your buddies spend all night fighting to take the headquarters of the enemy with some of your best friends being killed. Not to mention the number injured. Then the next morning when the dust settles other soldiers show up and start posing to get their pictures taken next to the very place your best friend died to capture. Be honest how would you feel.

@khensley1966 Its funny because I thought the US Army took it not you. Being in the 7th I'm sure we are not saying we took that one part of the invasion, I'm sure they just wanted there picture taken there. In the 7th we believe in teamwork, we did not mean to hurt your ego.

@freedomisfromtruth Um.... Noriega? That's what the video is about, in case you haven't watch it.
The picture of the 7th ID at the comindencia makes me laugh. I was in the 1/508 and we took it. Then every other unit showed up and took pictures as if they had done the deed. RIP Troy and Mike

@khensley1966 That's funny! Everyone wanted to be a part of it. Did you mind? And RIP Troy and Mike, with the greatest respect.

Unlike freedomisfromtruth...which should actually be farfromtruth...I was sent down to Panama for Just Cause with the 9th Regiment 7th Infantry Division. All foreign policy blunders aside, Noriega was not a nice guy. He really didn't want to give up power. And once we broke the back of his "military"which were really no better than a well armed group of thugs, things were pretty quiet. I did meet a lot of very thankful people, and it is a gorgeous country.
