I've always wanted to do something like this, but I never see unformed soldiers in an airport in a group. I was always hoping I'd find them all waiting in line at the Starbucks or something and I could just hand the cashier my credit card and tell him to cover everyone in uniform. The closest I came was one night after a Rush concert, we went to Pat's (Philly) for cheesesteaks. A few solderis drove up and we insisted they get in front of us in line. If you've been to Pat's before, it's a little like the Soup Nazi when ordering, so we were trying to figure out how we could tell the lady to let us pay for the soldiers' cheesesteaks. When they pulled their wallets out, we jumped in front of them and said we had it. But the lady there said "I wasn't gonna charge them anyway." I guess that's how they compete with the "Order in English only" sign at Geno's across the street.
