So why are you bothering to post in this thread? For the sake of argument?

The bottom line really is Mexico isnt worth doing as they dont even have a military. I mean drug dealers are giving them all they can handle.
And Haiti? lol
Haiti post-1994 perhaps, but Mexico has as much of military as Uruguay and El Salvador and they're included in the official game. I think you commentary on the Mexican military shows a distinct lack of understanding, as does the comment made by the other poster that the Mexican military is basically just a heavily armed internal security force. That the Mexican military has only been used to put down internal unrest since the Second World War, does not mean that it would be limited to that capacity should a traditional conflict break out.

Again, look at El Salvador (just one example likely of many), included in the stock game, which fought one war between 1945 and 1990, with a country not even included in the game. That conflict with Honduras was measured in days. Their forces have also only been seriously tested against domestic anti-government groups. I'm sure El Salvador's inclusion in the game is the product of one person taking the time to do it, and nothing more.

And one more thing, how can you be 100% sure that everything your doing is historically accurate? As your doing things from various information sources and you weren't historically present?
How can anyone be sure of anything with that argument? I think you just like being contradictory.
