Take out the forces aspects of this story:

Do you think it's right that an employer can do this? I would seriously like to hear both sides of the argument.

Thanks

" former social worker " - Says it all!

No it's not right but it is his right to employ who he wants, obviously a raving lentil cruncher but it's a free (ish) country!

But surely it's gotta be breaking some law somewhere.
Can you imagine if he used this justification to say I refuse to employ Serbians as some of their countrymen were war criminals. Or Germans.
ex-military are not classed as a "minority" group, so I doubt he's breaking any laws.

but I suspect his business will fold soon and his windows will be smashed!
What about the company that supplies ASDA and will only employ poles. Some employers are getting away with murder
I loved the quote "I wonder if the Royal Marine detachment based in Taunton would share your belief." = he's in line for a good shoeing.
He will get his cumuppence, but not from a hand wringing labour party. I'm sure they would have a law up in days if it was some burka wearere that was stopped.
If the fire service and the ambulance service were to go on strike, and they got the army to take over these duties, as they have in the past.

Would he refuse to accept the armies help if his company was on fire, and he was trapped inside?

You need to read the follow up on that story (re: the Poles). Basically, it's a load of bull.
