In Bahrain. Was medevac'd off the carrier. In Royal Military Hospital. Put in the nice wing because I was an officer.

My dad's real mother is Jewish. Which makes my dad Jewish even though he wouldn't know a menorah if you hit him with one. But my middle name is my great grandfather's name, he died right before I was born, and it's VERY stereotypically Jewish.

Bahrani doctor/officer comes in. "My friend, your middle name is either Muslim or Jewish and you don't appear to be Muslim. If you can't recite the haditha, I have to move you out of the officer's wing"

I couldn't. I was put in with literal lepers. Because I was part Jewish.

And Dubai and Bahrain are "progressive" compared to Sauidi.
