What am I supposed to prove? I'm not accusing anybody of anything except of flying off half-cocked and anybody with a lick of sense can see plenty of proof of that right here on this thread.

Figures you would put lick and half cocked in the same sentence...go away you Tar heel troll....

Okay, you wimp, here's what I was able to gleen...understand that I am among many who lurk here who hve REAL lives and are unable to spend every early morning seeking out posters to bomb with snide remarks for the fun of it. I have a family, i have a life to attend to...as such when I am listening to the radio, I can only deal with what I hear at the time I hear it with the resources I have. In the middle of getting a little girl ready for school, I do not have the ability to sit and wait for information.

However, Jon Matthews is a former Marine, and I trust his judgement in discerning what is real and what is not as far as reports.

The young man who called in GAVE HIS NAME. Executives from Conoco called in to say they are looking into this. The last thing in the world they want is to piss off customers, and would never sit still for treating US military personnel with the disrespect.

I would far more believe a young private in the Army over an ugly MEasterner. I am quite sure that military personnel know the consequences of making this kind of thing up.

I did not get a chance to get the address. I am in the process of getting this.

I can already see who is supportive of the military and who is not.

HoustonCurmudgeon, am sorry that you dislike Jon Matthews, but appreciate you tuning in. Perhaps you can help give us the details??? Would appreciate it. I am listening right now to commercials, so I am still on 'standby.' >

Okay, here as reported once again by Jon Matthews: about 6:30 this morning a woman by the name Barbara S. called in VERY upset. Her son, Sean S. who is 18 and in the Army and is on leave for Christmas after finishing basic training, was on his way for a morning run, wearing his PTS emblazoned with the Army logo, stopped in at the Conoco station 322 Raeper (mspelled?) Road to fill his gas tank. He went into pay and the clerk, who was Middle Eastern, asked if he was in the military. "yes sir," was Sean's reply. the ME man told him "Get out! Get out! You are not welcome here. US Army are murderers." Sean said "Let me pay for my gas." The ME man said "NO! Get out. Your money is not welcome here."

This was inexcusable.

Now the people at the gas station are denying it happened.

I'd sooner believe this young man who has VOLUTARILY agreed to defend my fat lazy butt than that puke in the gas station or any of you who whimper that its all just made up.
