Headscratchers / Ghost Recon Wildlands

• What the hell is up with Karen treating La Gringa like shit? Especially since she explained Svensen's story in her video briefing.
  • A reminder of her own failure, maybe? Bowman created Hands Over Bolivia, the NGO that Gringa was part of, as a CIA front and is essentially the reason Gringa is in the position she's in.
  • Bowman is a CIA operative who is happy intervening in a foreign country, ordering extrajudicial murders, instigating situations that can cause massive civilian casualties, destroying infrastructure, all while the United States is not at war with Bolivia. Karen Bowman is very simply not a good a person. She is not Good Is Not Soft she is not good at all, so of course she would show no sympathy to La Gringa even though Bowman herself set in train much of the events that got La Gringa stranded, implicated and trapped. She does not care about wrecking lives or innocent people, the ends justify the means for her.
• Where is the Bolivian army?
  • UNIDAD is more or less meant to be the stand in for them (thought they're more an analogue to the real life UMOPAR), but as the intro to the game states; it really doesn't matter. Santa Blanca is effectively the de facto Government of Bolivia at the start of the game and seeing as how they have enough influence to get UNIDAD to look the other way, there probably isn't much that the a regular Army would be able to do. Further evidence of this is in the Fallen Ghosts DLC, when the Bolivian Government hires foreign mercs to wipe out the Ghosts.
    • Moreover, UNIDAD is far better equipped in terms of weapons and equipment than the actual Bolivian Army, so it's unlikely the latter could even make a difference if they tried.
