Free elite upgrades are a published benefit in the DL FF program.
Subject to availability and the rules that Delta sets.... one of which has long been that a silver/gold on a full Y fare has priority. The OP is unhappy that DL is considering certain government fares to be full Y fares and, apparently, that our nations military may get an upgrade over him when they are traveling for work. The possibility of a free upgrade is a benefit, there is no guarantee.
