The primary reason was not opposition to supporting service members, but opening the door to an exception. If they made an exception for that group, there are certainly other worthy groups who could use that as an example to request similar privileges.

While it seems a reasonable exception to allow former residents access to facilities, where does it stop?
Just like the rule that allows married people to get two villages I.D's and single people only one, without allowing an extra I.D., if a single person wants to bring a guest outside of TV, to an event within TV.

As previous posters will say, dems the rules", no exceptions. I don't know what channels one would need to go through to make a reasonable request, without breaking TV system.

Please enlighten me.

For now, resigned to the fact that some things will never change.
