Do you want me to add the names from Desert Storm, Vietnam, Korea, WWII and the Revolutionary War?
Agree, two of my best friends in the Army were twins from PR.
Nice slap down.
Impressive wall of honor, but I think you are arguing with a brick wall.
I served with some damn fine Soldiers, NCOs, Warrants, and officers from Puerto Rico over 32 years in the Army.
But I think your previous point is the story here. Puerto Ricans are learning the limits of government competence and cost of putting statists/collectivists in charge of the government.
I hope that impacts the candidates and voters over the next few elections on the island.
cll, from Bert’s previous snarky input/replies, I would venture to say he/she is a Trolling Democrat. I view a Trolling Democrat as a person who’s job to infiltrate websites to cause anger whereas a Democrat who is trolling is one who visits websites and through his/her own lack of intelligence displays his/her own hatred and stupidity. Rather simplistic definition it may seem. LOL Many peoples from PR have been honorable; their individual sacrifices are the embers of a good people.
Washington, DC is in the same position as PR, people have no voting representation in Congress on how taxes are spent for military and other federal costs. DC has more population than Vermont and Wyoming. It also pays 4 times more into the IRS than it gets in Federal payments, unlike PR. Many in DC have also died in military service, or sustained permanent damage. Read in a local paper that all electrical service has now been reconnected. Glad to hear more decentralization. Hope sunny PR is making good use of solar energy.
When my late husband was dying at home of Alzheimer’s, I laid in about a 3 month supply of non-refrigerated food. I knew I might have a hard time getting out near the end. As it turned out there was only about 6 weeks that he could not walk to the store with me. I urge everyone to lay in a supply of a month’s worth of non-perishable food, and at least a week of water. Also a bottle of liquid Iodine. Put one drop in a glass of water let sit for 1/2 hour and it is good to go. If water is dirty, filter it through a clean cloth before adding the Iodine. Got me through Central America with no “trots”. I phoned my son in PR just before Maria and made sure he had made all necessary preparations. They were in a good concrete building fortunately.
Some people don’t think their thoughts through. I understand some of their frustration with all the mismanagement of the island and then some of the leaders blaming Trump.
Puerto Rico has good and bad just like the rest of the US.
