Seems that the U.S. isn't the only place with it's share of moon-bats, in this story out of Surrey, the U.K., a soldier was refused service in a hotel simply because he was a soldier.
Corporal Tomos Stringer, wounded in a convoy ambush in Afghanistan, was in Surrey to participate in a fallen comrade's' funeral when he was refused a room on the basis of his being a member of the Armed Services at the Metro Hotel in Woking, Surrey.
Guess Kipling was right when he wrote :
"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!"
Hope all the Brit Vets and Active Duty don't let this pass without comment; I also hope it to be a given that we here are grateful for the service of ALL the troops engaged in the WoT, no matter what their country of origin. People like Cpl. Stringer are much better than some of the people they defend deserve.

Posted by: Droll Yankee Feeders at March 26, 2011 05:51 AMIts such as you read my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I believe that you can do with a few p.c. to drive the message house a bit, however instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
