Montes, I believe, is not a Cuban. Her father is a Puerto Rican who was a career US Army officer and retired as a Colonel, in spite of being a PR nationalist who openly agitated for Puerto Rican independence (I suppose he saw himself as a Puerto Rican general officer).
You mean like those terrorists that shot up The Capitol in 1954, and were subsequently pardoned by Jimmy Carter?
Correct...She is a US citizen of Puerto Ricandescent, and one parent was US military.
