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?

Let it go! All this is going to do is create an argument with a substandard human being

Shame on them! The monkeys in the cage know when they are being treated unfairly. It's nature. If the flight attendant did not state the reason, then I don't blame them. However, if all the passengers were told of the reason and still boo'd, then they deserve deportation to the region where the service member was killed. Even though, the act of letting the family off the plane first does nothing for the family or the dead; it is the act of doing so that convey their condolences to the family.

I would have gotten on the mic and tell them my thought, "Aey, you bunch of monkeys, it may seem unfair to you, but the reason that some bad guys don't go kill your loved one like 9/11 is that their son or daughter was out there taking bullets for yours. And if you think the reason why WWII and 9/11 happened, it is because we were not out there and be the world police, because we were trying to mind our own affairs. Think about it, WWII, we did nothing to stop the Japanese from invading China. We did nothing to stop them from occupying Indochina. The only thing we did was embargoing the exportation of oil to Japan. That is a half-ass action only to anger Japan and thinking that we do not have the guts to fight. We cut down and retreated from the world affair after the Berlin Wall and the USSR are gone. The terrorists bombed our embassies, we shot 8 missiles (I may be wrong on the number). They bombed the World Trade Center, and we did nothing; then 9/11 happened. We are out there taking bullets so you don't have to. A little privilege is given to their family is the least you can do."

After that, I would probably wheeze a lot due to a lack of exercise.

Reply about the same and tell them that their family member gave the ultimate sacrifice of dying for our Country. So the Family sure as heck deserves to be the first ones off the plane to receive their body / remains before anyone else debarks the plane.

In my experience aa a CAO without the fallen on board and Escort with the fallen on board ( before they changed from commercial to private jet) and the way the captain of the aircraft explains the situation, everyone is pretty much all choked up. Even with all the animosity today, thats one thing that brings us all together. That being said... and knowing my duty is for the fallen and the family.... I would stand in the aisle at his seat face him at parade rest , slowly kneel until we are face to face... hawk a loogie in his pie hole... stand up... left face, or right... forward march

You can't reason with mindless animals, so "Why don't you all STFU and let that family grieve in peace.".

If possible I would go to the family and thank them for there family members ultimate sacrifice. Then search out the iconsiderate people who are disrespecting the ceremony and let them know that this could very well be one of there own family members in the casket. And the disrespect the show is uncalled for.
