It has nothing to do with liberal or conservative, it has to do with the fact they show up en masse and harrass the college gals. Which is not good for a clubs long term viability, if they get a reputation for being filled with nothing but military guys, they quickly go out of business.
This has nothing to do with politics, just folks protecting their businesses. That’s the facts jack. Have family in both Jacksonville, NC and Wilmington, and that’s the way it is. Its not a political statement.
I remember those broads at Georgetown didn’t like my Marines hitting on them at all those bars on M street or Wisconsin Ave, in D.C. I gotta say, it was really funny watching a Lcpl, or even a Sgt from East Jesus, Missisippi trying to rap with Muffy St. John the IVth of Olde Greenwich, Connecticut. Those broads really showed their snob factor. I just loved the look on their faces when after a half hour of conversation, they’d get to asking me what I did for a living, where I went to school, only to tell them I was an Lt in the Corps. Many times the conversation went sour, because I wasn’t: working for some lib congressman or senator, or some namby pamby civilian agency. Good times back then.....
