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?

George, our vets from Vietnam got spit on and such. People are sick anymore. I would be livid within myself though.

I hope this is only a hypothetical question and not related to a real life event. If I was a passenger on that flight, the individual would most likely have to be removed from the aircraft by stretcher. If my son, a captain for a major airline, was the PIC, I know there would be blood.

Probably hit the MFs in the mouth.

I would go to that passenger and look down at him or her and explain they have been honored to accompany a "Fallen Soldier" home today and proper decorum requires that they maintain polite silence until the family has been joined with their dead member. If that didn't work the old First Sergeant in me would materialize and I would tighten their ass up about 4 notches.

i believe it is a total disrespect not only for the fallen soldier but for his/her family.

In civilian clothing ?? Slap the Snot out of the First-class ASS...

You don't need to punch anyone or yell at anyone ... or pretend that you would have or should have if you were there.

Let's assume you think this is bad behavior and you would like it to stop. Telling people to just 'shut the fuck up' or socking someone turns the civilization level down a couple of notches and now it's worse and now the blame is on you. You made more mess than there was.

Second, you are the passenger; it was the flight crew's job to deal with the first class ass. It was the captain's description which was enough to annoy someone (some impatient, entitled, selfish MF) but not specific enough to make the FCA (first-class ass) shut up; the flight crew had the job to explain to the first class cabin what was about to go down AND to stifle anyone that was rude or disruptive.

It's unfortunate that us coach-class slobs (I certainly don't fly 1st or business class) can't all file past the FCA and tell them they should be ashamed of themselves, but they're probably long gone by the time we deplane.

The captain's message was vague enough to get kickback, I wasn't there so I can't say that it could have been said better, but I suspect that the flight attendants and captain could have coordinated better. I don't think this is a regular occurrence and I don't think we need to get too riled up about it.

I would demonstrate what a pissed off, former Airborne Infantryman does to idiots. I would show those idiots, what smart bumps look like when they are installed upon an their disrespectful head(s).

Probably be a foreign carrier or an unimaginally crass bunch of passengers. Unles someone started to take physical action against the GS mother it'd probably be best to just go back to your magazine. You ain't gonna change the minds of assholes like that and you would probably further embarass the Mom.

There aren't words to express how angry that would make. I'd probably tell the booing passenger to shut his cock holster before I punch him in his fucking throat.
