22. So the Hilton didn't want all those scary looking crips around?Sarcasm
As I understand it, the Restaurant owner was footing the pretty large bill for these free dinners; it didn't cost the Hilton any cash directly. So let's brainstorm on WHY the Hilton would do this.
I think it's pretty clear, that the Hilton management didn't want all these severely wounded soldiers in view of their ritzy guests. You know, all those GOP fatcats coming into DC for a weekend hobnobbing with the Bush administration. Think of it as Barbara Bush would - why should they clutter their beatiful minds with all those horribly wounded soldiers and their families?
