For those that don't frequent VV IRC, Lohrno was seriously worried about Mexico invading the United States while "all" of our troops were over in the middle east.Lohrno wrote:Now they will have to step up their border patrolsFash wrote: (lohrno: what will mexico do now? rofl)

I said that Mexico COULD invade with almost all our troops depolyed overseas. It's undeniable that with a majority of our troops in another country doing something useless that our defenses are not as good as if they weren't.

Looking at North America only
Total Personnel
Definition: Total armed forces (2000)
Amount
1. United States 1,366,000
2. Mexico 193,000
3. Canada 59,000
Military expenditures
1. United States $276.7 billion (FY99 est.)
2. Canada $7.861 billion (FY01/02)
3. Mexico $4 billion (FY99)
4. Bermuda $4.028 million (January 2002)
Even with 150k off in Iraq, I think the threat from Mexico remains, pretty much zero.
