My son is a marine. He tells me that some marines have been pretty rowdy at times and have created many complaints from the public. Maybe the owner is concerned about fights.
Do you think it would be all right to refuse your son service at a bar or restaurant because he's a Marine?
There is no doubt that there are some Marines who can get out of hand. I know these young men personally and know that they are not the rowdy type at all - they are very respectful young men who graduated top in their class at their universities and chose to go into the Marines. They did very well in OCS. I also know their parents quite well.
This was not a "I don't want marines in here because they are rowdy" situation. As it was described to me, this was clearly out and out contempt for all things military and particularly the marine corps.
Where they here at this location Raycpa?
From what I have learned it is a rowdy bar and there are lots of fights-Most of things I have read place blame on the Marines who hang out there. ( I am suspicious of that a bit)Even if that is true- having a no military rule is not right. So- I am still going to call tomorrow and see if I can get anywhere on this story too. I am sure we will all get some more info then.
