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?

Our God will receive the soldier, and his family in time. Nothing else matters. Those in the crowd are condemned to be themselves, and that is the worst possible punishment. Forgive them, "for they know not what they do."

Tell them to shut they're motherfucking mouths and show some respect.

I would stand ip and say something.

That question is just oo nasty to qualify an answer. One of my last duties in 1969, before getting out fo the Army was as a body Escort. No one booed me, but there were a few glares when they saw my uniform and black band on my arm.

I'd stand up and tell them all to knock it off.

No service connection, no respect. Shame him or wall to wall his ass. Neither would change him, he never served, so, he’s ignorant of protocol. You can’t fix stupid. He is 35 and just got a pass from his mothers basement.

only the certainty of making a scene such as would more greatly disrespect the sacrifice given by the soldier and his family would contain my fury. Did this ACTUALLY happen? Usually the captain will announce something like that beforehand also that the passengers are prepared and everyone knows what’s going on. Otherwise someone’s gonna get “offended” cuz the the folks of a different skin tone are going first- blah blah blah.

I’d like to think we’re better than that, though. And in my experience we have been. What’s the one time in american history that racism, sexism, and all the ism’s vanished for several months? we were a united country all of a sudden for a brief time. do you recall? the days immediately after 9-11. Nobody was… whatever subdivision they claimed… they were american.

i mentioned my first reaction (involving profanity) to my son. He suggested instead "point a camera at them." I agree.

I done think I could be nice !

I would not be NICE !
