How serious is the threat from Mexico?

You can often judge the importance a nation sees things something in the world by who they send to keep an eye on it.

In that light - this announcement got my attention.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert announced today the following assignment:

Capt. Colin J. Kilrain, who has been selected for promotion to rear admiral (lower half), will be assigned as senior defense official and defense attache to Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico. Kilrain is currently serving as director, combating terrorism, National Security Council, Washington, D.C.

Shipmate - CAPT Kilrain (sorry, I don't believe in the whole (sel) thingy; nothing personal) ain't no intel weenie. No sir.

Three time All-American wrestler, Navy SEAL, and married to an astronaut with whom he has had four children.

Geezzz ... I feel like a lazy putz who wasted his life all of a sudden.

Ummmm, I don't know about you - but I think it is time to start a Mexico tag.

Hat tip Mike.
