Incidentally, every single version of this story online is copied directly from the original source: The Sun. So it's probably not even true in the first place

Oh, wait, a hospital just tried that and got a load of abuse from idiots for its trouble. Back to the drawing board…

I have been in service, my late father too. When he had a detached retina, event though he had cleared out of the military 50 years prior, they sorted him out. I have had to use the military medial corps too, though within service.This was in South Africa, having both served in two different armies.

It sounds like somebody had previously had a go at a person in uniform, so a member of hospital staff asked him if he'd prefer to wait inside the department instead of sitting out in the waiting room with the riffraff. It seems to me the idea was to avoid putting him in a position where morons might have a pop at him, not to avoid offending anybody else.
It certainly doesn't sound like he was being "hidden away" as A&E departments tend to be busy places with people coming and going constantly. But I don't suppose "staff try to ensure patient doesn't get hassled by morons" would make for such a good story.

Then when people started dying in Afghanistan they changed the rules bouy up some nationalistic fervour.
I personally find it distasteful. But I don't really give a tulip.

It seems to have been based on somebody compaining on a previous occasion with a different RAF bod.
Of course, the correct thing to have done would have been to get the complainer in the original case arrested for breach of the peace, or similar.
