DBWI: If Mexico wasn't part of NATO?

The Mexican Army does have its armored cars and wheeled troop carriers, including those that are classified as "wheeled light tanks". That isn't my term, and I know there are arguments over what to call military vehicles. I've learned to avoid those discussions like the plague.

Oh, does anyone remember that proposal to place the Canadian forces in Europe in with the Mexicans and Cubans as part of the US army group? I remember it as part of a restructuring of NATO logistics. Grouping all the North American forces together was going too far in the interest of logistics and conformity, I think.
 
Speaking of the Canadian forces in Europe, those Canadian soliders in Great Britain are not offically in Europe; a clever way to get around the overseas service laws. There is also the airborne battalion and the light cavalry regiment that were designated to be flown over in the event of war. I'll leave it to others to argue if there was sufficient airlift capacity.
