My Comment: The law is very clear .... you cannot discriminate against someone who has served in the military. A prediction .... this anti-war landlord refusal to rent is going to cost her a pretty penny when this case is resolved.

The young military thug has no case; he's a whiner, like too many of these young people tend to be. I mean, they're traipsing around in people's homes and neighborhoods 8,000 miles away, without a congressional declaration of war and without any demonstrable threat to the USA...killing people for defending their own homes and towns? Good job, you blithering idiots.
But my point is: it's ILLEGAL.
Yes, as you say, the law is very clear: Article I, Section 8, Clauses 10-16 of the U.S. Constitution stipulate the ONLY powers given to federal government to engage in military activities.
Mostly, it is a harmonizing, training, and organizing function for the Militias of the Several States. It is also a DEFENSIVE navy, and allows for Letters of Marque and Reprisal (essentially going overseas to exact restitution on a state or individuals that cause damages to the USA.
The goon has no case; the lady is correct in standing for the U.S. Constitution, even if she may be a liberal...and possibly a fruitcake in other aspects. She is on the right side of the moral and legal case.
Thank you David for your comment. The issue is not the war .... the issue is on who can you rent to. And the rule of law is blunt .... you cannot discriminate who you may (or may not want to) rent to.
