Even if it was the policy of the company I worked for I wouldn't follow it. Sometimes you have to take a stand on what you believe in. To think someone would do that to my father, uncles, and both my grandfathers who served their country proud just really gets my blood boiling.  |

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | I don't know. Living here in the Springs (the home of Ft Carson, Pete Field, NORAD, SPACECOM, the Air Force Academy, Shriever, Cheyenne Mountain) I have gotten very used to military members getting the best of best treatment (exept health care, but that's another topic). One out every four or five people around here has been in the military, or is in. Stuff like this would kill your business around here. How many places out of my (seemingly) sheltered town are like this?
Isn't it under free housing laws that hotels can not refuse anyone on the basis of discrimination? |

People who exercise their mouth against soldiers owe their rights to the soldiers they are speaking against. Hopefully karma comes around and unleashes an unholy pimp slap. |
