I've flown (in the past few years) on American, American Eagle, United, Delta, US Airways (how long ago was that???) and SouthWest - never seen it for "veterans".

This type of nationalism where war and veterans are super glorified is more fit for the USA. Good for QF to point out that there are many public servants who put their lives in line for people.
