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'd stand up confront them they might not have any idea at least should have respect !!!!
too much hate in world right now !!!! theres no room any place wether on plane or land even by ship

I suspect my reaction would depend on whether I was on my meds at the time.

I would let my disgust know in no uncertain terms! I then would assume a defensive and protective position to render aid and comfort to the family of my fallen brother as best I could.

Airline should be required to advise all passengers that there is a Gold Star Family onboard and give them the option of securing another flight or to shut the hell up and honor this family.....and if they choose to stay on the flight.....they damn well better behave themselves !!!

This isn't behavior exhibited by a normal American, terrible and it's only an entitled POS would react this way, I suspect he/she was shut down quickly

There are numerous ways to respond if one feels compelled to. Anything from silence to saying this, "My son/daughter/father/mother fought for your Constitutional right to be able to boo us, so if it makes you feel better about yourself boo us. We do not care." I, myself, would respond with that. I feel it would have more meaning than anything else we could respond with.

While there are generally few military types with the excess funds to pay first class fares, this is disgusting behavior. It is for that scumbag's ability to buy a first class ticket that that soldier died. If there is a God in heaven, someone is there when this sort of idiocy occurs.

the other passengers were engaging in behavior that is disrespectful to the fallen and his family. the family is in grief and they should refrain from saying anything. I would say respect the family as nicely as i could.

I'm sorry, but having seen my friends, and fellow comrades-in-arms lay down their lives for our country, and Brother's, I have developed zero tolerance for those who lack proper decorum, and respect. I would confront them, and cut into them like a DI cuts into those who do totally dumbass things. Then I would come to attention, salute, and give 100% of my attention to the family, and our fallen comrade.

"Please, sir, a service member died protecting your freedoms. Have some respect while this grieving family receives this soldier's body." "Your understanding is appreciated." Sometimes tact is the way to deal with people. If that fails, be an ass back.
