What do you want to bet that Hilton is a big Dimmycrap contributor. Just like the other greedy corporations that hate this country.

Tell Hilton that if they go through with this, you won't stay in any of their hotels.

The problem lies in the fact that Hilton is an international corporation and is no longer a distinctly American company. I suspect that this has more to do with politics than access. By renewing the lease on a company that is giving its all to support our troops, Hilton would see itself as being patriotic to the United States, which just might offend some anti-Americans in Europe or the Middle East. So they used this ruse (and yes it is clearly a ruse) about wheelchair access and liability to appease the Anti-American sentiments of its European and Middle Eastern stockholders and franchisers.

The fact of the matter is that their ruse about wheelchair access is an illegal attempt to circumvent the Americans With Disabilities Act, and each and every disabled soldier who is negatively affected by this heartless decision by Hilton may well have a cause of action against Hilton. So by claiming that they are doing this to aviod lawsuits, they very well may have bought themselves a few hundred.
