He made some comment about they weren't worried about being invaded because Canada was our friend and Mexico was impotent. It struck me that we did not consider Mexico a friend even back then, and now Canada fits that description, not our friend but impotent.
I guess he didn't know any of the Mexicans who came over to serve in the US armed forces so they could fight Nazis. Some were even pilots and went back to serve in the Mexican Air Force or for Mexican airlines. Many more were line Grunts.
But the Mexican ruling class is another story of course. Talk about a bunch of left wing racist elitists. I think when you look up Elitist, you see a picture of the head of PRI. As far as the Canadians not being our friend. The Canadian liaison officer to the Army unit I support as a contractor seems pretty friendly, as was his predecessor. The predecessor is a crack shot and used to go shooting with the military, civilian and contractor personnel. I wouldn't go generalizing from a few whacked out left wing politicos, nor from the Quebecois.
