* Perhaps this is just me trying to squeeze any last bit of juice out of a relatively average game, but the plot of ""[[Tom Clancy]]'s HAWX reads a
** Probably the latter, if the Let's Play of the game is to go by. If better writers ever reference this incident, it'll probably be true.
** I always thought Las Trinidad was defeated after Operation Stiletto, so it's impossible for them to actually have a "Round 2" with Brazil. Here's the thing: The game mentioned at the beginning of Operation Ulysses that Las Trinidad's ground assault have been halted after the capture of their battle plans, leaving their only way of waging war to be by water, hence why the beginning of Operation Ulysses involves fighting Las Trinidad's naval forces. The James Lawrence Battle Group destroyed both Las Trinidad's fleet, as well as {{spoiler|Artemis's contracted fleet}}. Las Trinidad was defeated soon after in Operation Stiletto (when their Operational Center was bombed), which is why they're no longer mentioned for the rest of the game.
*** Continuing from my previous point, my basic understanding of the plot is that Artemis profited greatly during the six years that passed between HAWX squadron's recruitment and the time {{spoiler|Artemis decided to invade the US}}, allowing them to become the most powerful [[Private Military Contractor]] in the world. They were able to fill their ranks with a huge amount of soldiers due to the events of [[EndWar]]. [[EndWar]] mentioned the "Forgotten Army", comprised of soldiers from dissolved nations that were out of a job. It's likely that after [[EndWar]], all the countries were so devastated that they were forced to cut back on military expenses, causing many more soldiers to leave (Since any [[World War
**** And that's not even getting into the whole [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness|Megiddo]] thing that was introduced in [[Splinter Cell Conviction]]. [[Rainbow Six]] Vegas mentioned that the Vegas attacks were funded by a "wealthy backer" that was never revealed, and the sequel to HAWX had {{spoiler|General Morgunov ranting in a why that's eerily similar to Tom Reed at the end of [[Splinter Cell Conviction]] about "something more powerful than nations"}}. It seems like Ubisoft is setting up Megiddo to be the [[Big Bad]] of the Clancyverse, and it's not a stretch to think that they had something to do with both the events of [[EndWar]] and the strengthening of Artemis to {{spoiler|launch an all out attack on the US}}.
**** Remember that HAWX 2 is in the same conflict as [[Ghost Recon]] Future Soldier, where the [[Big Bad]] is a weapons-trafficking group known as Raven's Rock. Moreover, the HAWX team helps the Ghosts in that game.
