Let me help you out...

"He gave them the bottle and the woman TSA agent said “Hey SGT I’m a LT in the army. I out rank you”"

How did she know he was a sergeant? Because he told them, thinking that it gave him a free pass to break the rules that the rest of us have to obey.

"He then asked to see her military ID."

She does not have to show him jack. She says move along...you move along. He is not functioning as a sentry, checking someone elses ID card. He was being a smart ass.

"She got mad and told him to move on."

....and? So what.

"He said this is F__Kup"

What is? Not being allowed to break the rules? Tough &%it!

"...and went to his gate. He missed his plane..."

Because instead of obeying the rules, he thought he was special. Had he done what he was told to from jump, my wager is that he never would've missed his flight. Regardless, he is supposed to be their two hours early, so it is on him.

"...and then came back to complain."

He went to the ticket counter to complain or back to the screeners? Screeners cannot help him with a missed flight.

"This is when the cops took him out of sight of the main cameras and beat him."

As if you have any idea as to what happened off camera save what this twit tells everyone.

Regardless, oh well. Next time he'll follow the rules like the millions of other people who got on planes that day.

I have no remorse for him.

Um........no.

From the article : The supervisor also asked to see England's identification and then made copies of his military ID and boarding pass.

And

the TSA supervisor told him he was a lieutenant in the Army but refused to show any proof of this claim. England pressed him to show a military ID, but the TSA supervisor wouldn't budge.

The TSA brought it up and not the soldier.
