"Mexican troops on U.S. soil? I find that very disturbing."
Just wait till the Salvadoran troops get here. They're just getting you used to the idea of foreign troop "helping" us. We'll see blue helmets one of these days.
That's exactly what's happening. A little opportunity presents itself to get the "Americans" used to the idea of seeing foreign guys with guns driving around their cities and towns.
It would have been an unthinkable embarrasment 30 years ago for the mighty United States to "need" aid from a dump like Mexico. And the idea of foreign troops on U.S. soil...particularly from this country...would have been scorned.
Clearly someone has decided to exploit the situation.
You mean one of these helmets?
