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?

Give the opportunity to "boo" me. Close and personal. Disrespect of one of our fallen will not be tolerated.

I would come to the Position of Attention and Salute the family - and after they leave - I would give that "NCO" look at anyone who had booed. and who knows, I might end up giving a mini speech!

I would say, excuse me, when you lose someone you love and they are going to the cemetery to be buried...how would you like to be booed? If you cannot show respect, just be quiet. You need to learn manners.

Maybe a throat punch too

I would probably tear them a new one!

I'd punch someone in the face for sure. But I've never known as a tactful person. Please do the opposite of what I say at all times.

I'm afraid that anyone who was that low class and ungrateful is way beyond anything that I could say or do in the time allotted and the restrictions of civil law. However if possible I would step in front of them and render a silent salute while blocking their exit. When the family had left the scene I might mention my feelings to the fool who had shown such a lack of courtesy to a brother/sister. Of course if they felt the need to push or in some way handle me while I was rendering honors I would be forced to be defensive.

My first reaction would be the desire to pound the living dog snot out of that individual; however, then the professional side of me would kick in and I would then stand up and start clapping and yelling thank you to the gold star family and that I appreciate the sacrifice that their family just experienced so that the boo'ing individual can do such things. If I were close enough, I would go up to that family and thank them for their sacrifice. Usually, those who are disrespectful as this individual was, will shrink into nothingless when confronted with positivity.

Maintain a professional presence and Firmly, but calmly say “Settle down and be mindful and respectful of the circumstances involved here”.

Catch him off the plane..tap him on the shoulder..and tell him "he is a despicable human being".
