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?

Quite frankly, THAT individual is someone who deserves to be put on the TSA "No Fly List"!!! Just saying. If they show their 'unpatriotic' behavior like this in public, who knows what they are planning behind the scenes.

I would ask the flight attendant to let me have the mic for a moment and put those folks in their place very quickly! I'd start by saying "this family has lost a family member so YOU could have the rights and freedom's of free speech, be able to travel without having to 'show your papers' every time you come across a new location and they have the right to tend to their loved one!" Lastly, I'd say, "what if that was YOUR son or daughter, would you react the same?"

My first thought was to shout shut up and sit down in my drill sargent voice. But after giving it more thought I would say. You can be glad that it is not one of your relatives or friends if you have any.

Unfortunately,
I was on the detail a few times that actually had to receive the remains of the soldiers returned to the states, I would have given the order parade rest, then walk over to them and had security remove them from the area, stupidity in the face of stupidity this not the answer.
Now if I was not in uniform, I would quickly and quietly give them good tongue lashing they would never forget.
Either way a soldier took care of the issue I’m good with, it can’t be over looked!!
Airborne All the way!!!

Probably make a louder than necessary comment like "Have some respect. That could be your son or daughter."

I would let them know that they were a shame full human and to shut up and count their blessings.

CPO USN RET. I would time for a verbal beat down. That's why we call civilians "SAND CRABS" Maybe a little help for the flight attendants over the loud speaker might help them.
