The border states are already having a rough time providing medical care and education for the ever growing number of illegals. ANTONETTE CLARK Corpus Christi, Texas...
...rough on a man's pride to be a patient. Even after you get into your Extremely Late 40s, a life phase that lasts until 70 or so, you maintain a certain manly sense of yourself (He jumps!

Locals insist that soldiers act here in ways they never would at home. They blame the effects of battle training, coupled with upbringing in rough areas and poor education. And though it's left unsaid, it's hard to believe they think race plays no role.
