What a credit to your race you appear to be.

The majority of Indians or people of Indian origin I know would be disgusted with your disrespect shown to British servicemen, (many Indians have, and continue to, serve with great distinction in the British Armed Forces) and your willingness to exploit a situation for your own personal benefit.

You advocate willingness to use the law when suits then support breaking the law, (as Bud has clearly shown), when suits.

That's hypocrisy in my book.

Well said.

Most soldiers want to do good for their country, but find themselves under the control of evil men instead. It's important that people understand this, and don't bark up the wrong tree.

By your definition then should we ban all Muslim people from hotels then.Because the radical Muslims that commit atrocities are in plain cloths and mix in with the general population. So since you can not tell the difference between a radical Muslim and a good hard working Muslim then we should ban them all from hotels then right?

Probably because the majority of hotels do offer service men and women discounts on rooms.It was probably out of habit that he showed a military ID.
If the hotel did not want to have military personel not stay at their hotel then they should have put a sign up or advertised as such...oh but they wont do that because they know they will loose the majority of their customers.Like I said earlier... they would have no problem giving a room to the politicians that sent this guy to war....it is not the service men and womens fault for the failed policies.

Correction: British soldier refused access to hotel because the manager doesn't understand their policies on military personel staying in the hotel.

That's all that happened - the hotel has a policy stating no uniformed military personel can stay, which was common after the IRA started to attack uniformed soldiers. The manager obviously didn't realise that caveat. I'm pretty sure he does now.

You're right magicmushroom. It's "Not one", it's actually thousands of citizens from the US and UK, that have been killed serving their countries.

I totally agree with your double negative

"Maybe now the soldier will get some idea of how it feels for British citizens to pay his salary and for him to ignore their wishes so completely?
Maybe this will give him some perspective as to why he should do what's right instead of what his told next time around?"

"he should do what's right". He is doing what's right. He is a soldier who has taken an oath to serve 'Queen and Country'.
He is serving his country and obeying orders. This is what a soldier does! Soldiers serve the military, which inturn serves government.


StellarX said:

"Once you can get past this type of nationalistic arrogance we may be enabled to discuss the 'facts' of this war as you seem to wish to defend them.....
They have held referendums and polls just this question and Iraqi's have voted overwhelmingly for soldiers to leave."

I am glad that you are big on "facts". Please show us this "referendum" you are referring to.


"There are plenty of countries that desperately need armed intervention to prevent mass starvation or further bloodshed; Iraq only required the lifting of the genocidal sanctions to recover from most of the hardships it's people were suffering."
On this point, I agree with you totally.

It pisses me off that something like this happens. Soldiers who served their country are being disrespectful by the people at home who depend on them to protect them when they do not volunteer to do what they do.

Or is it possible that soldiers have the tendency to destroy property than non-combatants do at hotels?

It's not about "serving" their country, in my opinion... anyone that joins the army or any similar cult is consciously making a decision to play god, by being responsible for taking lives... I choose to stand against that and so my soul is in peace. It's not because i'm scared, it's because i'm making a harder stand and changing the way the world is. This is my contribution... and i sure hope more would stand their grounds and stop all this war BS.... no one winds other then the minority in power!

ps. They're NOT "protecting" home, they are "invading" other countries. See the bigger picture, not some patriotic crap we have been fed by the media.

So being a white man and not in the military..what do you think would happen if say I was to go straight into the heart of Palestine and try and get a hotel room? I'll bet I would be refused simply because 1) I am white or2) I am an American.

If I could make it more than 5 minutes with out being kidnapped,beaten,and held for our government to remove all forces from blah,blah,blah...then have my head cut off.Yet this would probably happen even though I don't support our governments policies abroad. Funny thing is they will claim I am still an enemy because 1)I am a infidel and 2) I am a westerner.So would I deserve that because of western policies that you think supposedly created these radicals?

Man u guys just dont get it. STAY HOME AND STOP FIGHTING.

If the so called INFADELS come to your home state I will be the first to support you and stand by your side in a war. But if two planes are flown into 2 big building in your home town, and your not REALLY SURE who did it. I think you shoud not goto afganastan and start killing.

Here is a question for ya, Do you think more military have been hurt in the current conflict? or innocent young children?
