If my nephews are any indication of the mindset held by your common, combat Soldier or Marine, there won’t be much of military for the Mexican’s to join. Yes, some of the support folks might stay, but the guys toting M4s are headed home. And the one’s that, might show up, will have to be trained equipped and told to fight for a foreign country, that they have no allegiance to and will subsequently be slaughtered, by the very same guys that they are replacing.
Additionally, all those guys that are headed home, will be bringing a lot of stuff with them. So, thinking that they’ll have warehouses full of ammo, food, equipment at their disposal, will be quickly disproven when they head to the ASPs and find out there’s no more ammo, grenades, mortars, TOWs, Javelin’s, Claymores, etc etc.
Yes, that is often overlooked. Also overlooked are the men like my son and his friends who are recently out of the military. Think of how many soldiers are currently in service vs. the number of men who are out...of any age.
