The US military doesn't have a sterling record of success in Mexico...In 1914 an uncle and his nephew were each awarded Medals of Honor for their actions at Veracruz, but the operation is generally known as a failure...The nephew later made quite a name for himself in WWII's Battle of the Coral Sea...

A little later in the Mexican Revolution, the US Army's General John J. Pershing and a young lieutenant tried to chase down Pancho Villa south of the border, but couldn't catch him...With that record I recommend turning the job over to someone with a better record of success...Perhaps another band of volunteer Texas irregulars could be formed for the job...After all they had a degree of success last time......Ben
