Isn't that a kind of bigotry, holding all Marines accountable for the actions of some?

If they consistently cause problems ? Yes.

In addition, when this happened where my son was stationed, he and his fellow Marines were confined to the base for month as punishment and guess what ? He was never part of it. So, the Marines held all of them accountable for the actions of a few.

You are comparing receiving discipline from an authoritative rank to a civilian operation refusing service?

That's different. The Marines can do that. A public establishment shouldn't.

The ACLU would be ALL OVER THIS if these were women or minorities. I'm sure they'll be jumping right in to defend these marines, right?

Good point, Raycpa!

And since young black men commit disproportionately more crime, we should just throw them in the slammer when they turn 16!

This is nothing less than another example of "Dogs and Soldiers keep off the grass.
