So here's an in-your-face response to you and others who carry this holier-than-thou attitude:

I'm proud that TSA uses its workforce to assist returning wounded military troops. I'm also very glad that there ain't a damn thing you and others can do about it other than whine and moan on some website because I'd hate to think that such a sour attitude could potentially poison a gesture of humanity and goodwill, particularly to a group of people who are caught by circumstance in an unpopular war and who pay a particularly high price, higher than any of you whiners are willing to pay, in the service of their country.

And yes, even if it meant having passengers wait in line a little longer so I could dispatch a TSO to the gate to assist a wounded military veteran, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Flail away.
