Heres an experience of racism that happened a few years ago with me.....
Remererance Sunday 2006 11/11/2006
While i was recovering in Kuwait.. There was a remerberance Sunday service for all troops of all religions. Americans, Germans, british etc. A parade of soldiers were doing the usual saluting crap to the snobs... but There was one unit of Soldiers taken from all the allied countries specificay for that day... They were ALL JEWISH... one of my lads was among them.
All the soldiers marched saluted to the dignitaries etc... but a so called prince... member of the Kuwait Royal family Turned his back as the Jewish lads walked passed... I was fuming.... Well i was retiring anyway so F*ck it...
So I decided to lead my troop out on parade even though I wasn't suppose to as i was wounded ... but they were my lads so...
anyway we marched to the dignitaries and instead of salute i ordered my lads to about turn and face away from the main stand (so to speak) And told them to salute The jewish lads....
Yes I did get in shit for it as the Kuwait shit.prince felt insulted.. but my CO backed me and told him you offend just one of us you offend us all..... Well it did help that my boss was the same guy who saved my life many times as I did his when he was a mere luetenant...
To me Religion,Race, Sex and any other predudice you can think of has no hand or part in society.... You got my back and I definately will have yours...... No matter what
