Fortunately this kid isn't the arbiter about which institutions (and denizens thereof) Americans are allowed to show their respect and admiration for.

geez lol. Listen, if giving servicemen respect every chance you get gives you a self appreciation boner, then go for it. No one is saying you're not allowed to.
But don't pretend yourself that booing is somehow booing veterans, or soldiers giving their lives or something. It's football players at a football game. Hell, even the players themselves like booing over the obligatory clap because they feel they have too. At the Army/Navy game, I'm sure they boo the shite out of each other because....it's a football game.
