Evidently the guy who wrote up this story is not a Yankee. A couple of lines about the stone and then a diatribe on all the Yankee sins in the surrounding area.

So, we can now add to the politcally correct history of the United States the following: the white man stole part of the country from the Puerto Ricans!

Are stereotypes part of your normal conversation skills?
I hate it when a former fellow Marine does that.
BTW, I was in the ‘nam too, late 1966 to late 1967. That picture of yours, with the 5 marines on a mountaintop, looks vaguely familiar to me.

Most "stereotypes" don't just happen, they're modeled on some amount of reality - like 'Nam vets. Grow a thicker skin ... I have.
I was on the DMZ: Con Thien, C2, Gio Linh, Cam Lo, etc.
The picture in question is further south at the Rockpile and the one to the left of it is Camp Carroll.

Stereotypes are often simple-minded ways to brand an entire group. I know Puerto Ricans, with me being one of them, and most that I know are not welfare recipients. That's why I know that, using the stereotype that you did is idiotic. Stereotypes are merely exaggerations meant to ridicule and demean people. I don't use them, and I don't expect my friends to use them.
they're modeled on some amount of reality
Most are exaggerations, and they don't really reflect reality. Reality and exaggerations are not the same thing.
- like 'Nam vets.
I'm a 'nam vet, and I don't feel particularly persecuted. If anybody inquires about my military service, I proudly point out how I was a veteran of the Marines who served in Vietnam. No shame, and no one to blame.
Grow a thicker skin ... I have.
It's not that simple. Not when the stereotypes are meant to be harmful and demeaning. They're very distasteful and idiotic, and therefore, I don't use them. Perhaps, instead of growing a thick skin, you should've grown smarter.
When it comes to the "'nam", I served around the Danang and Chu-lai areas, with the 1st Marine Division, 1st Tank Battalion.

Obviously not. I know how to choose my friends wisely.
