Time to take those blinders off Crumb...

by "military" excercises, you mean exploring caves? If we caught British military members exploring caves, I doubt anything would be done.

It's not like they were attacking Mexico or even gathering intelligence in Mexico.

Ok, you all asked for it!

Why doesn't Mexico have an Olympic team?

Because everyone that can run, jump, or swim is already in the US.

Politically incorrect joketime over... now back to your regularly scheduled 3rd world country bashing thread.

When they got in trouble, and radioed for help, they refused the rescue offer of the local government and said they'd wait for a british military rescue.
There were perhaps good diplomatic ways of doing it, but saying, "no we don't want your rescue team; we'll wait for our foreign military to pull us out" is an insult. And it made international news. So, if they are tourists, why do they insist on a foreign military operation to get them out?

If it's no big deal, then why is the President of Mexico involved?

Oh, by the way, I don't want ANY illegal aliens coming into the US. NONE.

America can be whatever color it wants, and I could care less. I just want our borders secure and all illegal aliens deported or jailed if they wont leave.

Conducting un-anounced military operations on foreign soil is never warmly received. Take this from someone who was one of 6 people on a KC-135 when it arrived un-anounced at an airport in Bogota, Colombia.

Sounds like adventure training...what the hell is the military signifigance of the caves?
We have brits doing adventure training all over western canada..other then the stealing and crappy driving they are no real trouble..

The proper thing for the US to do here would be to stand up for our British allies. To gain amnesty for their aliens, we must give amnesty to all Mexican aliens in our country. That will solve everything.

Right?

knowing my country's gov. officials Mini-D, they probably just forgot you guys were coming

The UK, US and Canada are allies, so I don't imagine training in each other's countries would be a big deal, heck it would probably be encouraged. The UK and Mexico aren't allies.
