OP: I'm active duty and have never had any of the problems you are describing, especially when returning from deployments. I've never seen or heard of anyone calling military out of line and sending them for further screening. I can't imagine any TSA screeners being extra rude to service members, as quite a few are ex-military themselves. Maybe they have dealt with servicemembers coming through their checkpoints with arrogant attitudes and have developed negative stereotypes.
We all thought we were going to be expedited too. We all complied and I don't remember anyone being rude. The only good thing about the experience was that I got a coin from a colonel I was chatting with while we were waiting.
