This report is so outrageous, I don’t know where to begin. It’s the result of the war the European Left has been waging on our servicemen and -women for decades:

Sapper Anthony Walls, of the 21 Engineer Regiment, went to the Co-op in Croydon to buy beer after a gruelling 34-hour journey home from Kandahar.

The 27-year-old, said it was his ‘first hour back in the real world’ after four-and-a-half months helping build “the most dangerous road in Afghanistan”.

But when he arrived at the till to pay he was met with a blank stare from the cashier, who refused to serve him and called for her manager.

The store manager then told Sapper Walls that he refused to serve him and that there was “nothing” he “could do about it.”

Oh, no? Well, guess what? There was something he could do: going public.

Afraid for a major controversy, a spokeswoman for Co-Op immediately apologized. Sort, kinda. You see, she did offer her apologies but added rather ridiculously that the incident had been a “genuine mistake on the part of our two members of staff.”

A mistake? Really? This wasn’t a mistake at all. They knew full well what they were doing. They were simply honest about their hatred for soldiers. Well, their hatred for British soldiers that is – something tells me they have less problems with soldiers from countries ruled by leftists and / or Islamists, but that as aside.

This incident is yet more proof that it’s time for the European Right to end the Left‘s war on the armed forces – now. We’ve allowed them to smear the army for too long a time. It’s time to counter their propaganda and to name and shame them when they humiliate our brave boys and girls who, after all, put their lives on the line for their country and its allies.

    Lee Thomas I believe that there is a huge difference between liberals and Progressives. At least in America. Right now their is a battle for the soul of the Democratic party. The liberals love and cherish our military and our soldiers. The progressives believe America is a gluttonous nation who should be punished and brought down several notches. To wit: """Nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism. And patriotism is but the father of nationalism. Patriotism is not something to play with. It’s highly toxic. When ingested, it corrodes the rational faculties. It gulls people into believing their leaders.It masks those who benefit most from state policy. And it destroys the ability of people to get together, within the United States and across boundaries, to take on those with the most power: the multinational corporation.""" Matthew Rothschild who is the editor of the PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINE. As we all know Progressivism was brought to America from Europe. As Michael points out its what the left has been trying to emulate for a century.

    Lee Thomas Ironically Robert Gibbs made the point for me. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs called the far left in his party the "professional left" saying, "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality." The progressives really do want to be rid of the military. They loathe the military because it supports their number one hatred in life. Corporations and big business.
