I'm putting this on the Before 1900 thread, even though I'm not sure which side it belongs...
Between 1821 and 2016, when has the Mexican army been in the best shape relative to the USA army? I'm talking relative power of the entire army to entire army here, being outnumbered 5-1 is still being outnumbered 5-1. (and I believe that all of the US Nuclear Weapons would count as being Navy or AF control)
My *guess* is in the 1880s when the Mexicans were under a *relatively* stable government under Diaz and the US Military was more or less a force to fight the Native Americans....
