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 would give them a come to Jesus moment, and attempt to make them think a maggot had a higher respect than they. Then, a resounding "God Bless America" would follow in song and with anyone who would join in.

That is the America that we have allowed becoming, where little by little we have erased the values and reasons this country was founded upon. Where a returning servicemember from overseas get spat in the face, where a fallen servicemember gets a protest in his funeral and where the inconvenience of a fallen servicemember in their plane is the worst thing ever that can happen to them.

You present an interesting argument. As a Vietnam veteran I am familiar with the kind of welcome home to which one might be subjected. I think the downward spiral you talk about really started in the 1960s during the Vietnam era. It was my unfortunate experience to arrive at San Francisco International Airport to the waiting throng of spitting, swearind, disrespectful assholes. When I left Ft. Lewis we were advise to wear civies home and not our uniform. My response was F... that, I earned this uniform, my right to wear this uniform proudly is bought and paid for in full. PERIOD! Any other opinions to this comment??

Words can't explain how furious I would be. There's no point in a intellectual conversation with them because they are obvious ignorant fucks.

First, one needs to insure the rest of the passengers understand the 'why'. Although one would think they would know, you can't assume they do. It is the pilot's responsibility to somehow get the information out to the others. If they decide to boo after knowing this, there isn't much that one can be done.

Usually a good EYE fucking shuts down snowflakes,I must confess to DELIBERATELY changing my appearance to that resembling a biker,it really keeps the jerks off my back and, with moments as described, it has value. If not we have this thing called the Brachial stun...

I cannot imagine anyone who knows the situation would react that way. To know better is to do better!
