This came to the public's attention because a Vietnam veteran wanted to put it on a t-shirt of his grandsons. Think about that for a second. Then this veteran used to hearing really stupid things in the last 40 years when they were greeted by idiots, is showing he isn't ashamed of anything except Disney right now.
Word "veteran" not allowed on Disney T-shirt

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Walt Disney World is on a big push to hire veterans of the U.S. armed forces.
One Vietnam veteran reached out to Channel 9's Steve Barrett for help when a Disney cast member wouldn't let him make a "veteran" T-shirt.
Retired army Colonel Dale Sindt showed his pride as a veteran years ago when he bought custom shirts at a Downtown Disney store for his twin grandsons that read, "My papa is a Vietnam veteran."
When the boys outgrew the shirts he was shocked when he tried to replace them.
"We went to print them out and the lady said, 'I'm sorry, we can't print those.' And we asked her why and she said, 'Our legal department said its offensive to people,'" Sindt said.
He couldn't believe it so he protested in writing and got a call back from Disney management.

Get this Disney's Legal department states the term Veteran is offensive. A Marine Veteran with PTSD amongst other issues made a self mission to help the person whom has been taking care of him since he moved to Florida. She worked for Disney and she was put in a position based her knowledge she was defusing potentially dangerous situation with Marines with PTSD only to be set up to be forced violate a company policy but by doing it she was following company's safety in that sense should override the reason she broke other one as safety was put above all Disney violated their own contract when they made the decision to fire her and they had tried to have that Marine arrested failed the police could not do anything so they banned him from his property.
