Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I think that we are getting close to the time where we will have to start "shooting back" regularly. As our economy accelerates toward destruction more nations will began testing our perimeter defenses.
My concern will be which direction is "back"?Originally Posted by colocowboy01
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What do we gain by going to war with Mexico?
Mexico...
Send them back don't escalate.
It's what I was gettin' at; why waste the .mil's time when a much smaller agency can handle it in their sleep?

The real question is if they were just escorting a load of drugs north, or instead meeting up with BATFE to take delivery of some new toys.
I read an excellent book once called The Next War by Casper Weinberger that addressed the chance of going to war with Mexico. To put things into context, the book was written based on actual possible scenarios drafted by the CIA and department of defense that are presented to every president. Apparently the CIA believed that war with Mexico was imminent in the future based on the drug war and the immigration problems and if I recall it was deemed to be a very bloody conflict for both sides.
One may think that we can just steam roll over the Mexicans in a battle but they are quite entrenched and very good at gorilla warfare. One must also be fully aware of the Mexican population in our country (not to mention the Hispanic/Chicano populations AND the large number of Hispanics/Chicano's in our military) - this could be the toughest battle of all with internal dissidence and the possibility of a civil war.
So the question any diplomat or politician must ask is "is it worth it for a few troops who stumbled into our country?".
