Should RallyPoint expand the community to include allied militaries or DHS?

Over the years I've seen many members of US government agencies (e.x. NOAA, DHS, etc) ask about joining RallyPoint. I've also had inquires from military members of other nations like the UK and AUS, to join RallyPoint. How would you feel about that? Would the community benefit from communicating with our allied partners?
UPDATE: So far a lot of mixed reactions.

Maj John Bell is correct in his assessment of the situation, SSG Carlos Madden. I’ll take it a step further, however. As diligent as all the admins might be, so much of the bad remains, I can only echo, “Why would we want to embarrass ourselves to an international audience?”
RP will do what’s good for RP, but you asked, and my response is an unqualified no.

I retired from the Army after 30+, and was a Senior manager at DHS for a little over 10 years. They are nothing the same. I have worked with and around Federal Law enforcement, while they are great at what they do, there mission is a far cry from the Military’s. I am not disparaging them, but there issues are not our issues. I recommend keeping this forum the way it is.
I could break it down into details but I assume my point is understood.
