This came up on an earlier thread, and it does bear repeating. Once the Mexicans cross the border, General Cummings knows there's not much available to stop them conventionally. The thread had a conversation that took place between him, the Deputy Chairman, and CINC-SAC. It ended with CINC-SAC receiving his orders, and a few hours later, there's nuclear strikes on targets in northern Mexico to smash up their supply lines-and a low-yield detonation on the Presidential Palace in Mexico City to eliminate the Mexican Government. The invasion sputters to a stop when the Mexican commanders see instant sunshine in their rear view mirrors: some go home, others start fighting amongst themselves, and others stay where they are and either go warlord, or their units break up and go marauder. The Soviets stay in San Antonio and wonder why on Earth they accepted this proposal, and all they want to do is get home.
