I do know some businesses that "reserve the right to refuse service to anybody for any reason" though I don't know the legality of this. It may very well be legal to do so.

Well, to modify a fine Dirty Harry quote, there's nothing wrong with discriminating, as long as the right people get discriminated against.

You do not need government approval to become a consumer. (with the obvious exception of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, firearms, etc.)

Not entirely true. In real estate, if the buyer makes a request to only see houses in a neighborhood based on it's ethnic representation (in other words, white neighborhood) then the agent has to refuse to service you. This is probably a State law but I doubt it's unique to my area.

That would fall under the category of a business violating discrimination laws. In this case by complying with the consumer's wishes.

Right. Thus affecting the consumer. In this instance it may be indirect but the effect is the same.

You simply could have asked:

Italy, Brigata Paracadutisti Folgore, Reparto Comando e Supporti Tattici, Compagnia Trasmissioni. 2/93

Don't mean it as an insult; I actually like the guy, but every time I think of you Dog Chapman comes to mind.

I have no quarrel with you. It actually seems to me that more often than not we think the same way, though we have differences of opinion.
It is all these "cheerleaders" I really can't stand. Military buffs, the name alone makes me want to puke. If they are old enough, they should enlist. If they are too young, they should shut up. You should be weary of them as much as I am.

In which case, I now know you're lying. The Italians never reported to an American Admiral in Somalia to which you claimed to have disobeyed a direct and legal authority. The Americans may not be the sharpest of the sharp but they're not that dumb by any stretch.

You couldn't even get your story straight as who did the Italians report to.

In any case, good bye, you're not supposed to come back under another name.

It just goes to show that you're so stupid as not to learn where you're not wanted and you're not wanted here.

Mods, this is thesaint again.

Once I caught him with his lines; he went off on a forum search to see what he said. Wheras before, without identifying his home country and unit, we could not have pinned him down on what he know or should have known. Once he did that, his house of cards came crashing down.

I can tear his service claims to bits now. We all torn his military knowledge when he first appearred with AK-Dave, myself, and M21 tearing into his "supposed" knowledge into confetti. M21 even stated that he received private emails from 5 other military members who doubt the man's claims.

Oh, and he claimed to be a PhD who worked on the TORNADO.
