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?

Shut some people up

Get in their face. Plain and simple. Explain to them the issue with real close eye contact.

Get in their face. Plain and simple

I would feel angry and defensive. The people who boo obviously haven't a clue the debt they owe for their freedom to be able to boo w/o being thrown in jail or executed.

As a member of the Gold Star family from D-Day having lost an uncle, I would do my best to restrain my disgust for the taunting passenger. I would have stood,faced the other passengers on board and ask for a moment of silence to honor the family for their loss and to honor the ultimate sacrifice of the fallen warrior.

Kick’em Right in the jimmies

Did this situation really happen, or is this just on "off the cuff" comment to stir up the readership? Why don't we discuss something like what the President of the United States stated when he said this outrageous comment, "I don't like POWs, I only like the ones that weren't captured". Both are absurd, but only one really happened.
"For those that fought for it, Freedom has a certain flavor the sheltered shall never know".

Stand up. Pull out my nunchucks.
"Cowabunga it is."

I would stand up, would stick my hand out, followed by a hand salute

I would be standing at attention in the isle and saluting the casket.
