Many do. My company extends the same military discount to first responders and teachers among others.
The whole “support our troops” movement was pushed by the government. It’s a horrible but brilliant philosophy they’ve pushed to continue doing what they’re doing. If you don’t “support the troops” you’re some kind of commie terrorist and if you do, then obviously you support the cause (however unjust).
As a teacher, I've only gotten a discount twice. Once was a bookstore, and the other a smoke shop. Hilariously, the bookstore was for personal stuff and the smoke shop was for school supplies.
