Airfare for Active Troops

This was important to me, so I thought I would give you the same opportunity. The petition currently holds 172,868 signatures.
R/ITCM Air Fares for Active Troops:
Our military is not "flying free" as most Americans believe. As a majority of the airlines do not provide discount fares for the military, the men and women actively serving our country are paying for their own flights home during leave and - in many instances - are paying higher fares than most of the public. The reason for this is that they are unable to book their tickets in advance as their leaves are not always granted 21, 14 nor 7 days in advance. Please sign the Military Airfare Reduction petition to ask the government and 11 major airlines to provide military discounts to those on active duty. Many are unable to fly home because of the inability to afford the airline rates.
Please sign this petition in the hopes of showing our military who serve in place of those of us who will not fight our appreciation for their service and dedication.

I have been there and do know when your on leave the cost of ticket really bite when your wanting to spend time with family, friends.
the time trying to hop even thou its only $5.oo, but hell you can stay in a mac terminal for days, waiting on that one flight.
my cousin went to europe in 2002, to see\some friends, he went to a furenal, for a friend. He hopped to spain, then to germany, then a train to Netherlands. He really lucked out, he is a disabled vet, I wish I coulod have seen him climbing the stairs on a C-5.
