Pongo mi esperanza en que nuestro nuevo presidente haga memoria o investigue por qué su familia emigró, y entienda así, que no venimos por gusto, que la necesidad nos trajo, nos arrancó, nos arrebató de nuestros lugares de origen. […]
Conocí más de la cultura mexicana: la Virgen de Guadalupe, los chiles rellenos, los tacos y la sopa de tortilla. Desde entonces esos son mis platos favoritos, más que una parrillada argentina con chinchulines. […]
Using actual urban police to teach Marines so that they can train Afghan Police is an excellent and somewhat obvious idea. After-all, there is only so much a soldier in his early 20s can reasonably be expected know about reaching out to a community, especially one in a foreign nation. […]
