I served 20 years in the USMC. Ive been a busboy, a waiter, a burger flipper, a mortarman a helo pilot and an airline pilot. I tip well, and by the way I live half my life in hotels. I buy every serviceman I see in uniform coffee in the terminal at starbucks, and on the plane I instruct my flight attendants offer them free drinks if they are not in uniform (because that would put them in an awkward spot as it is against regs).

I would no sooner accept a tip from a serviceman than I would allow him to pay for his drink or his coffee or his meal if I could help it.

I say do not accept tips from the people who dedicate their life, and risk their lives to defend your freedom. (and your day job)

these people live on peanuts. I know. I once did too...
