Thank you for your concern, but what do you mean by "militarizing"?

Conscription of foreigners is a rumour that has been spread before on this site and elsewhere. I have to say I find it pretty annoying, and even irresponsible. As far as I know, migrants can be drafted if they've attained citizenship, as you'd expect, and non-citizens cannot be drafted.

Guatemala is a nice place, but back in the 60's and 70's it was not really pro British. They had a claim against England that British Honduras was theirs. It later became Belize and independent.
