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 definitely chew some a$$ so this POS would, hopefully, think twice before he shows his disrespect If he is ever on another flight with a Military Hero's remains on board, and his family is also on board the flight.

I'll end up in a cockpit before il end up in first class flight seating in life.

First i would draw there beligerancy away from the greiving family member directly towards myself by giving the subject 7 Seconds to apologize with sincerity and at the same mentally rehearse kicking there ass. Obviously if they are that dumb and offensive they would take the bait.

The very thought of someone booing a Gold Star family for being allowed to leave the aircraft first to receive their fallen son/daughters body is so repugnant I can't comment, but I will go this far, it's another reason it's a good thing they don't allow guns on airplanes. I realize our national moral code has crashed and burned since I served, and since I had to escort the body of a fallen comrade in arms, but NO ONE disrespects the sacrifice while still have a say! Cowards die many times, the brave only once, but for the life of me, I can not see the brave among us today laying down their lives for the cowards impeaching all that made America great and protecting their "junk".

Did someone actually experience or observe this incident, or is it one of those unlikely hypotheticals that elicit over the top answers? I don't even like the question. I come from the Vietnam era, and it was more likely back then. Today, people are almost always respectful of service members.

I would be so angry. I would stand and apologize for being in such a rude and hateful group.

It would be useless to say anything to them, because today people think they can do whatever they want.

Loudly explain that they are an asshole; especially if they are obviously American, very loudly inform them that soldiers died for the right to be an asshole! AND to shut their shit hole! I would then salute the family, offer my condolences, and let them know that not all people are jerks.

Honestly? Probably nothing. I would be too shocked to do or say anything coherent.
In addition to that, while I feel that booing is completely classless and disrespectful, I do strongly support free speech, even speech with which I disagree. If I could get over my shock, I would tell them they were classless, disrespectful, and were a disgrace to their family and the whole human race, but leave it at that.

In One Word: "Ballistic!" I was a Vietnam Era Veteran; when it wasn't popular.
