My point was that I think some gestures like this are based on a cultural glorification of the military.
And most are likely out of genuine respect for the service.
Why someone giving up a seat can cause so much angst is perplexing. It's not like libs are asked to pitch in to pay for the seat. It has no affect on your lives but here we are bitching about people being nice.

I actually am surprised. I thought the left liked it when one person pays for something and it is given to somebody else.

I am not anti-military nor does this particularly upset me. I just think it is a part of our culture that causes some harm. We can't have real and honest conversations about military spending, troop levels, or compensation because of this hero worship stuff...
