What would you do, if a passenger in first class "boo'd" a Gold Star family for being allowed to leave the aircraft first to receive their fallen son/daughter in the military?

I wouldn't react at all. Sometimes it's just better to be above that.

I would focus on consoling the family of the deceased servicemember. I wouldn't waste my time, or breath, addressing the cretins that booed as it wouldn't change their minds or attitudes. They've already shown that they have no shame by booing a hero.

probably nothing you could say would register.Guess in honor of the deceased,we would not want any trouble especially at this solemn time.Dont forget,their family or relative would be there? Do our job with respect and dignity and move on.

You can't fix stupid, so why try? Some people do things for impact, to get a response, or to by funny. No one can understand the position of a Gold Star family and unfortunately the world is full of dumbasses who fail to realize their stupidity is paid for by those who served and those who died defending it.

What I might think, and what I might do or say, are very different.

The situation is all too predictable. I wouldn’t make a scene just to aviod potential issues with Airport Security or anyone else really, just to ensure I get to my own destination without delays.

Little point is saying anything to sheep about serving anyone but themselves. Most of then weren’t even worth serving. We do it for the few who were.

How incredibly disrespectful for the family of the fallen. I'd rise from my seat, stand at attention, place my hand over my heart and remain silent. Lead by example.

I would try to rally the unspoken by saying, those of you that condemn this direspect please come to attention and hand salute out the terminal side of this plane.

No need to try to talk to these morons, no matter how big the hammer you can't fix stupid. But to tell you the truth I don't think I would be able to restrain myself.

Odd question. I hope I never have to find out.
