airhead is correct. The "military fare" is a contract fare between the Military and indiviual airlines service specific routes. This is not a discount fare for military personal and their families to use for personal travel, but for use when military personnel get travel orders. These fares are more flexible then general discounted fares and can be changed without penalties and refunded... thus the higher cost.
However, carriers are free to offered discounted fares to military personnel if they so desire.
