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?

I would take that person aside and politely point out to them that they misread the situation completely. The family is there to honor and bring home their fallen hero. I would warn him, almost certainly a male who is not a vet, that had he tried that when the fallen hero's mates were present he, too, might need to be carried of the plane.

I would be detained by airport security for channeling my Drill Sergeant on a bad day.

I'm afraid all the sensitivity courses forced on me during my 25 years would fail me. Female passengers booing would simply get a "Shut the Fuck Up." Male passengers would qualify for more physical correction.

As calmly as possible under the circumstances, remind the jackasses that are booing that the soldier being received by the family, made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that their overly entitled, manners lacking, waste of skin a$$es could fly 1st class or any class for that matter, and show a total lack of respect and gratitude freely.

I would stand and salute them (and I am sure others would follow my lead). Then after they leave I may say a few words to the ingrates that booed them.

It would not br pretty.

I'd request, strongly, that they not allow such an ignorant SOB to board the plane, suggesting that did that as the family boarded, they'd probably cause a disturbance one on board!
