There is a great difference. Nonetheless, one can lead to the other, which every servicemember should keep in mind when off duty; their brothers (and sisters) may suffer for their sins.
Also, have another form of ID on hand.
Agreed..Over reaction is an understatement at best..They have offered an apology and in fact had to call in the Police because of all the telephone threats they were getting from members of the public. This action is not to be condoned of courseOriginally Posted by VarSity
I bet the poor receptionist is gonna get the sack, just for following a stupid order...The receptionist had made a mistake, it added.
Absolutely..It would be against the grain for Management to except responsibility when things go wrongI bet the poor receptionist is gonna get the sack, just for following a stupid order...

My first reaction was the same as all other veterans or current military. I could feel my anger welling up inside.
But then...
I remember what my stance has been on private business. If it is a private business, the owner should be able to run it however he or she sees fit.
So, if the owners of that hotel wish to have such a policy and they receive no governement/public funding, so be it.
But rest assured no one I know would go there.
I am also a bit pissed off,me thinks if he was an Taliban insurgent he would have been given the honeymoon suite
No kiding, of course they never had any civilian's who have been boisterous staying at there hotel, but they have not banned the remainder of the civilian population ............oh no wait they would have to close then wouldnt they
Not even an option the day a serving member of the forces has to show an ID to hide he is in fact serving his country, is the day we have finally lost all reason!
Another classic example of "finding a scapegoat" if indeed she was following Hotel policy.I bet the poor receptionist is gonna get the sack, just for following a stupid order...
Hence Dave's point earlier is not Miltary and Armed forces one and the same, in this contextI am also a bit pissed off,me thinks if he was an Taliban insurgent he would have been given the honeymoon suite
FEAR NAUGHT
Should raw analytical data ever be passed to policy makers?
Its a plot to demonize America. See, the hotel is owned by a company called AMERICAN AMUSEMENT. <<< The name makes it even worse.
I just want to know of the circumstance of the event to corelate to our conditions.
If I am on my own on leave, and if I am a war veteran and wounded and all that, I can't ask for special privileges in India. The hotels and restaurants have the licence to reject customers they don't deem fit for their establishment and they display a sign - rights of admission reserved.
When our unfiormed soldiers are on a condolensce visit, the whole trip is organised by the military and so there is no flaps.
Just because one is a soldier and veteran of wars is no criterion for admission in India.
Nonetheless, if I were to be denied admission, I would kick the manager in the teeth and then go to jail!
Who cares!
"Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."
I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
HAKUNA MATATA
90% of the time when I'm asked for ID I show my military ID. And every time I usually get the same response..."Thank you for your services!!" I always feel so proud for having served in the military.
I don't know how I would feel the day someone tried to take that away from me! :(

No, not at all . My darling trout has the option of ..Don't have to worry about that with yours Dave,but it must be a little inconvienent carrying that stone tablet around
I can understand if like 10 guys try to check in. I remember having to help pay for a hole in a wall at a hotel in Edmonton because some moron decided to put his own head through it........ I had nothing to do with it and was not even in the room at the time!!
One guy with a busted hand though. Retarded.
