    Ah, I assume the station in Mexico was in reference to the St. Patrick’s Battalion, who switched sides in the US v Mexico war, in disgust at the atrocities of the invading yanks.

    One of the reasons they switched sides was because they werent allowed to go to Mass.The us army was very anti catholic at the time.
