Regular Joe can buy priority boarding if they want it. Or get priority boarding through credit card or frequent flyer programs. The airline chooses to give you, as AD military, an item that is accessible to any one willing to pay for it. So it's the same as taking a any other discount.
False. Military ID gets you in front of first class. Average joe can’t top that.
And really think about it why should joe blow military dude flying to Vegas to party board first just cause he’s in the military? Seems absurd to me.
It’s a nice gesture that’s gone to the extreme and now it’s just tacky.
