This Veteran had his paperwork in order, with the guide dog association and the campus. It's not like he was unaware or trying to get over on anybody.

Seems like it would have been better if the campus police respected the Veteran status, let him go on to class, and asked him to follow up with the proper campus officials within 24 hours.

It's outrageous they would eject Col Smith, and even more outrageous they would ask him to submit a list of his diagnoses/conditions.

Regarding service animals, my brother worked as a station manager in the airline industry for many years. He said he's had to let service pigs and service monkeys onto planes because supposedly those people wouldn't stay calm in flight without the emotional support of their animals. How did we humans fly or manage any stress before all these service animals came into existence? I can see why it's easy to abuse....
