They taught us that Geography is old fashioned so the geography classes and history were all replaced with "Social Studies" at some time in the 80s. Most of that class was just about reading holocaust books, I think we had a week or two where they taught us what islands and fjords are, but the only time putting names to countries and capitals on a map came up was an optional extra credit quiz in 8th grade. Most people skipped it.
Please understand, Geography is only taught for optional extra credit in American schools.
(I wish this were a joke.)
What? I had to take Geography.

Well you take this sharpie and draw a line and bam direct line of attack - if it works for hurricanes it will work for war plans
Cuba could be one. While Florida is closer, it's possible due to El Paso being considered highly isolated.
If it is for a military reason (very doubtful at this point), there is a country that is literally 0 miles away from El Paso.
Mexico is also possible.
