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.

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.

I do not give a damn. He was in the wrong...completely.

Had he simply obeyed the rules that everyone else has to follow...and discarded his can of soda, none...NONE....NONE...of this would’ve happened.

It is on him. Period.
