That load of 30 million bullets was soon followed by fleets of Black Hawk helicopters and thousands of Humvees: in all more than $1 billion of American military equipment sold to Mexico within the past two years.
In a security relationship between Mexico and the United States often described as standoffish, foreign military sales have lately become a big exception. Adm. William E. Gortney, the commander of Northern Command, the U.S. military headquarters that deals with Mexico, testified to Congress earlier this year that Mexico's buying binge represented a "100-fold increase from prior years."

Ha, ha, ha.
SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S., no wait, you are serious? I think they learned their lesson in the 1840s when they were at least on par militarily. Any build up would be to fight their internal threats that have more money and better arms than the Mexican military. That internal threat is not going to allow the Mexican military do anything to disrupt the Cartels number on customer.

Pretty much. Mexico has enough internal problems to deal (which you correctly pointed out) with than to try to start a new Mexican-American war (which they would lose even more spectacularly than last time). If anything the US should invade south and clean the place up once and for all.

My Drill Sergeant in Infantry OSUT (1982) said we should line up the Army and march South...we would get smaller as we advanced but the problem would be, what are going to do when you are done? You can't just give it back and we don't want it?
You break it, you bought it. It would be a Pyrrhic victory, at best.
