do militaries of the world guard their nations' oil rigs at all, or just let it sit alone somewhere in the sea. If military used to guard, does it mean it has military installation in/on/blow it?

Well being from the northern US, I never gave the Mexican Military much thought, but after seeing the photos, I have to say I'm impressed. As for why should Mexico have Marines, the UK has them and they have a lot smaller land mass and a lot less people then Mexico. Other countries should learn from Mexico and have decent military capacities so that they don't have to always rely on the US, the UN, and others to bale them out military when something happens.

Is that guy with a MILAN on the same vehicle as the machine-gun guy? Talk about having 2 much firepower on 1 small jeep-like thing

Yes , the Panhard VBL are equiped with the MILAN at missiles and MK19 granade machine gun. Its just show how compact the army is.
