Army Ranger and his coat hanging scandal.

I've noticed this story has gone viral.

I wouldn't have made a fuss. I have flown many times while in dress uniform. Not once, have I ever asked to hang any part of my uniform. This guy is not even on active duty anymore and is only wearing his uniform to attend civilian job interviews. If he's worried about wrinkling his coat, then maybe he should keep it packed away neatly while traveling and wear his civvies. It is actually against policy to wear his uniform like he has been doing. At his current pay grade, I'm sure this soldier is aware of this policy. I can certainly attest, that my military experience has helped with civilian employment and promotions over the years. However, I never needed to wear my uniform during interviews, my resume spoke for me.

This story just kind of bugs me.

I live close enough to pick up over the air broadcasts from this TV station and even work on Charlotte on occasion.
I tend not to watch any of the local news especially WSOC Ch 9,personal preference.
WSOC has a hotline set up for people with valid issues to write to the TV station to voice their concerns in which WSOC then leans on the party being complained against to get them to change their policies.

However,WSOC is good about getting dirtbags to make things right with those they've tried to screw over.

Most likely all the fuss is not about the soldier wearing the uniform but what the uniform it's self represents. The fact that the flight attendant refused to care for an uniform item that represents every man or woman who has served our nation .
