It’s clearly listed on airline tickets....ONLY named passenger, for EACH ticket, may use the ticket.

That ticket is assigned to a particular seat, right? How many stories do we hear of a First Class passenger swapping seats with one of our military members? This shouldn't happen according to your logic, as no one but the person who paid for that seat, and is assigned to that seat, can use that seat.

Tickets are not for assigned seats, they are for a certain fare and class of service, a certain flight (date, origination and destination).

Seats are assigned on boarding passes.

I don't know if the vernacular makes any difference in this case.

Take it up with the airlines, that they give special exceptions to our dear military.

I’m ALL for giving our dear military special exceptions, when possible/necessary, btw.

Are you?
