Point of order: the federal troops' potential mission of invading and occupying Canada is supported by Jade Helm, whereas having the Texas State Guard monitor the federal troops in Texas only really makes sense if Austin believes Washington is up to no good in Texas. I suppose the Texas State Guard might learn something about federal procedures by observing them, but I would think direct participation would be more practical if the goal were to impart some useful knowledge to the Texas State Guard.
Every so often I do hear the idea of annexing Canada floated. I've even heard a theory that 10th Mountain is based in northern New York so that the division can be in Ottawa before the Canadians can react. It seems to me that millions of liberal Canadians would be a hard mouthful for conservative Americans to digest, all other considerations aside.
