All I am saying is that an agent of USAir should not make that call, however well-intentioned, for a customer.
Until the rest of America makes some real sacrifices, please spare me the brouhaha. Giving up your seat is just a cheap way to make yourself feel good.
I find it amusing that you mention "an hour flight". So what, you wouldn't give up your seat if it was a TATL flight?
First of all its US Airways not US Air. Giving a FC seat to a soldier is just a "nice thing" to do. In case you dont remember we are a total Voluntary Armed Forces. They do not choose when or where they just choose to serve. They are all well aware of that, so please dont question their commitment to our country they were asked to serve and they did. Your concern over giving a FC seat to soldier over you is really a testament about who you are.
