Except if you want to train for a potential mission, likely or not.
I am sure someone somewhere in the US Army has had a training exercise which modeled a US invasion of Canada. Do I think that such an invasion is likely no. Do I think it is in the wide realm of possibilities yes (Maybe in response to Quebec Separatists).
Such a training mission's purpose would be flex your leadership and logistical muscles, and to feel confident that should a mission with any small thing in common with this one occur, you would be better prepared for it.
Yes this seems like political gamesmanship and a product of the "Don't mess with Texas" ethos, but training for a potential mission, does not seem illogical to me.
