Is that pride in flying the US flag, or derision for the rest of the world who are nowhere near as mighty as the USA? Patriotism and xenophopia are closer than you might think, especially among Trump supporters. Regarding letting servicemen on a plane first, I'd rather let doctors and nurses on the plane first.

Actually, I usually let anyone on the plane first. Your seat is booked, why would you want to sit on a plane any longer than you have to!
