#1 but theyre not just "of puerto rican ancestry" - somebody born in the Bronx of Puerto Rican parents is of Puerto Rican ancestry - someone born and living in San Juan is a Puerto Rican, just as someone born and living in Dallas is a Texan. "Troops who are Puerto Ricans" maybe?

#2 There are a lot of Army troops from Puerto Rico who go through the Defense Language Institute English Language Center here at Lackland to learn english before they go to Basic training. They are all volunteers and are damm proud to be American Soldiers. This is just another rant by the lefties on PR who hate America.

#3 more verbal diarrhea from the PR welfare state. Send those 1,000 back to hand out towels at Roosevelt Roads and collect from Uncle Sugar, that's what they want, all the benefits, none of the burden.

#4 Jarhead, I must, with respect, disagree and side with ManwithNoName. I personally know 3 men who have lived in Puerto Rico their entire lives expect for the time they spent in the U.S. Army. The are damn proud to be Americans and damn proud to have served. For that matter, I found Puerto Ricans to get very upset when some idiot from the 'mainland' doesn't realize Puerto Ricans are born U.S. citizens. The leftists made Vieques the debacle it was, not the majority of PR.
