Why should our brave service personnel, who on their returning parade from Afghanistan, (especially after receiving the Freedom of the Borough), be barred from a public house?

I want to know what's wrong with lawyers. There was a pub in Guildford which had a sign outside saying 'No soldiers or lawyers'. There is a solicitors' training college in Guildford. Never discovered whether counsel or judges from the court house up the road were intended.

No reason that I can see - but as the piece advised, it was an error.
There is really not need to get worked up about a simple mistake, for which an apology has been issued.
I would (as usual) take issue with your notion that 'brave' service personel should be more outrtaged over a simple mistake than anyone else.
They are serving personel - there is no evidence that the individuals concerned have been 'brave' - merely that they have done what they are employed to do,

I used to live in Guildford for a while, and squaddies were lucky to get into the town without a passport. Used to be a lot of trouble between the squaddies and the local oiks looking for trouble, till they banned the squaddies from town.
Still remember the strange looks i got from the patrons of the Horse and Groom pub in Guildford - Long hair and a goth girlfriend did not sit well with the squaddies, it seems :)

I think the pubs in Guildford could have taught the apartheid regime a thing or two about segregation.
I accidentally wandered into a 'student' bar there and a girl asked why I had my name written inside my forage cap. I'm not sure she believed me when I said it was in case I forgot my name.
All in all, it wasn't a very welcoming bar.

Never been under fire have we not Andy?
I consider them Brave, regardless of the fact 'that it is their job' as you put it,
Just as I consider firemen who have had to enter a burning building, BRAVE.
Or a policeman who has faced an armed criminal, BRAVE,
Or Lifeboat crews who have to enter stormy seas so as to rescue crews of a sinking boat, BRAVE.
Or those Mountain rescue teams that have to turn out in terrible weather so as to rescue someone up a mountain, Brave.
No need to carry on with examples of bravery, you must have got the gist.
It's incredible that a member of the US forces has only to enter an establishment in America, and he never needs to put his hand in his pocket to buy a drink.
