It's pretty obvious that each police action has it's own set of unique circumstances and problems. It doesn't matter how our border situation with Mexico compares to Korea or Kosovo, what does matter is our future course of action to protect our borders from unwanted incursions. I do not condone using our military as policemen for several reasons, but our idiotic approach to solidifying our borders have made it so easy for all types of creatures to enter and endanger our well being that until some sanity is restored I suggest we use the most effective means necessary.

Congratulations, you've just made the case against using the military.

Not really, the Border Patrol is ill-equipped to encounter segments of the Mexican army, our Nat'l Guard is on duty in our airports shaking down white-haired Americans so even you should be able to figure out that the American military provides at least a short-term answer for border protection. Their training involves seek and destroy if necessary so I'd suggest that the federales learn how to read a map.
