The Home Depot policy may be discriminatory, since they are refusing to sell to individuals based on their affiliation to the government.
If you read the article again, you will notice that HD's ban does not affect sales to any individuals, period. It prohibits sales to the federal government of items to be used by the federal government. That's not discrimination against any individual.

Military commanders are required by law to place all establishments that discriminate against their personnel off-limits.
Again, not one of us has been discriminated against, and we'll continue to shop at whichever stores best serve our needs. For me, that's Home Depot. As real men know, Lowe's is for ladies.

I'm going to... guess based on more than 20 years of military service that many members of the military will voluntarily boycott the company when they learn of this policy.
Those of us with more than 20 years of military service know who onerous and threatening it is to deal with federal bureaucracy. When more of us learn of Home Depot's common-sense new policy, more of us will shop at Home Depot.

We support our own.
"Our own" does not include chicken-crap bureaucrats who force private enterprise to run its businesses into the ground. This Marine was at Home Depot yesterday, and will be back again this week -- happier than ever!

If a person wants to know what the federal government really thinks of it's veterans compare the VA hospitals quality of service to the private hospitals' quality of service. There's your answer. A person would think that the VA hospitals would be among the highest quality since it is taking care of those that risked their lives for the rest of us. But it's just the opposite.
