US-Mexico relations may be improved somewhat. Also some soldier who died in the expedition might survive and become a general or a politician.

It is my understanding that the only way that the US was able to get men into Europe within the year was that we had veterans and experience putting men together from the Mexican Expedition. Now lets imagine that we don't have these vets or the experience. Imagine that we have to start from scratch in 1917.

Pershing got a lot of publicity and influence due to the Expedition.
Without that maybe indeed Roosevelt ends up with a lot more influence when we go to war.
I still doubt Roosevelt would be given military command, he was almost 60 by then. Also I can't see how American forces would be weak without this expedition after all in OTL most of the US forces were new recruits anyway.
