First off, you're Priceline's customer, and they very nicely passed the buck and shifted responsibility.

You'e lucky they were able to change the dates at all. If the new flight had been sold out, you would have been completely out of luck.

I'm an eight year military vet, and am sick of this hero worship for the military. Unless they walk home with the Silver Star or above, they're not hero's, they're just doing their job, as I did (and many others). Goes hand in hand with the self entitlement generation. Don't expect your mistake to become someone else's problem. Own up to it, you made a mess, and expect to be bailed out of it claiming some sort of military privilege.
