I also was in the Navy and made many international flights. Normally you have to allow for late planes and customs/immigration checks when you arrive in the US. I would allow at least three hours between connections. This person cut it too short because he didn't allow enough time to make his connecting flight. The fact that he was in the military had nothing to do with it.

I was in the Navy for 5 years and never expected any kind of special treatment. I don't know what being in the service that has to do with this problem except to try to get a little pity. I'm sure they were not going to hold the plane to wait for one person, military or not. If the plane left a little early maybe it was because it was entirely full and waiting would not have made any difference, they would not have thrown someone off so he could get on. He was too late. The real problems was was that he was late because he did not allow enough time between flights. Better planning would help.
