How would you react if you were on a flight where a family was boo'd for being allowed off the plane first to receive their soldier's body?

I would have cleared everyone out of the families way stood tall and saluted. That was so disgusting thing for the people of that flight.

End up in jail for assault. It would be worth it.

I'm afraid I'd embrace my inner Ninja before I could even stop myself. Some forms of disrespect I am just incapable of tolerating.

I would promptly kick their ass!

I’m grateful all of my military brothers and sisters are so clear on what those who booed are “entitled” to - an instant education on respecting Gold Star families. As a Gold Star father, and a former enlisted Marine who then went to medical school and joined the Air Force as a medical officer -retired O-6 - I was my son’s escort to his final resting place in 2004. Rest assured, had that happened to me, I too would have dressed the asshats down, immediately and clearly! Semper Fi & Aim High!

Have a backbone, stand up and say something.

First, I would be sure they were properly escorted off the plane with dignity while noting the objecting individuals. I would make it my mission after deplaning to make sure the proper corrective training was visited onto the objecting individuals.

Reconfigure their face...then claim temporary insanity.

First off....this is a shit stirrer question....when we talk about the Civ-Mil Divide and constantly look at the civilians as the cause of that divide we forget that we are partially responsible for it too; and your post epitomizes our contribution. In 17 years of this fight, I have not heard of that happening, not even once. You know why it hasn't; because the American people, while not completely invested in the GWOT for the last 17 years understand the sacrifice. I personally think this posting demonstrates a lack of understanding of who we are and how we should respect the civilians that provide our paycheck, our housing, our benefits....maybe we should be a little more grateful to be one of the best paid Armies in the world....The Aussie's have us beat. I am booing you for even thinking of posting this...how old were you in 2001. You have no idea what it was like to serve anonymously before this all began....now you expect everyone to kiss our feet, provide us a discount, and step aside when we are in line for something. Shame on you.
