If you were/are truly a General you would know instinctively that wars are won using many different tactics and strategies.
I was never a general. General Blather is the noise you hear when lots of people talk.
I would strongly advise them to not do this.
One of the biggest complaints of the Marine in captivity is that the Mexicans show their hatred of Americans at every opportunity when they are abusing him.
So I suspect that riding in a group to Mexico right now will be as dangerous as if a convoy of black civil rights agitators tried to pass through many rural areas of the old South around about 1962.
Seriously, this is not just bad feelings. I think these northern Mexico police and soldiers might be violent to the point of murder. The *best* they might expect is to lose everything they have with them, and to be pitched in some nasty Mexican jug for months or more.
I disagree. With enough of them the Mexicans will be out of options.
This is about thuggery vs the forces of liberty.
Do you remember what happened at the ‘68 Olympics in Mexico City? A bunch of American radicals stimulated a bunch of Mexican radicals to riot. The Federales acted.

So I am under no illusions about liberty in Mexico. Even tourists headed to Rocky Point had better take the right exit, or they may very well end up surrounded by soldiers with M-16s pointed at them.
And that was before the cartels started butchering people.
I am very serious when I say Mexico is not a nice place right now.
I think their ability to act would quickly disappear once a certain threshold of sheer numbers is met.
I would never count on that. Remember that northern Mexico, for all intents and purposes, is a war zone. Even if the government wouldn’t attack them, it would be a strong temptation for the cartels to do so.
Estimates set the death toll in the cartel wars are above 120,000 killed by 2013, not including 27,000 missing. By whatever logic the cartels would use, they would have no hesitation to kill even hundreds of gringos. Especially unarmed ones.
What do you think they would do if half a million bikers showed up?
What do you think such an event would do for the morale and the fighting spirit of freedom loving Americans?
I’ll tell you what they would do.
The cowards would back down.
Probably not much, because Obama would turn out the army to stop them.
You think Obama would order troops to stop who?
Anyway, American troops would not fire on other Americans.
Especially if Obama were issuing such unlawful orders. If he did something this stupid, he would see mass disobedience and the taste would be very bitter.
Anyone who attempts to cross the US border in a group on motorcycles. It would be the CPB, backed up by the army.
It’s very possible you don’t understand the depth of this matter. Or how the military feels about Obama.
