Not Much UW Potential in Mexico

As I stated in another thread, the people of Mexico are a conquered people and have been sheep for generations. If the US were to do as a couple of the QPs have suggested, there needs to be:

1. A populace that is willing to sacrifice everything for their freedom. This does not exist to any large degree. There are those who will sacrifice everything for money . . . their loyalty will only be to the highest bidder.

2. A group of leaders who will sacrifice personal ambition for the good of the people. The political leaders have been corrupt from the beginning and have no loyalties to anything other than their own power and pockets.

If we do train, arm, advise, and send them back, what then? If they prevail, what will be the end state? IMO, they will not work to change Mexican society nor will they move policies to help the US. The only way out is to lock them out.
