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 find his name and let the passsenger know what is happening an who this asshole was that boo'd.

I suppose I may have stood up and wished everyone who booed that one of their loved ones dies before you get home and has the same reaction from complete strangers

I might be taken off the flight for nailing the arrogant jerk in 1st Class if anyone did that around me. I am unpleasantly astonished at how many American citizens are so falsely arrogant, spoiled and ungrateful. The armed services consist of less than 2% of our population, yet we do 100% of defending them all. I grew up mostly in small towns and rural areas (Oregon, California, Idaho, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas) because my father was a Civil Engineer and we moved from job to job, mostly building hydro-electric dams. The country people with whom I grew up had almost all served in the military, even if only for a short time, and they considered it their duty to serve their country. The big cities seem to be mostly populated with arrogant and egocentric people who think the country exists to serve them and give them free stuff. Wrong!

Tell them "Shut the F up you loser!"

Furious!!!!!

I think I was respond with something like "Hey, asshole. They're here for their fallen soldier. Now show a lot of respect since that soldier died for your right to speak your mind."

"Thank you, their son/daughter died for your right to free speech. The least you could do is be thoughtful on when you use it. What have you done for your county lately?"

How does it feel that you could lay your head on your pillow every night and be safe it’s for soldiers and Marines and sailors that allow you to do that

Just ignore them , it sounds like its their personal problem , its enough emotion with out causing a scene with them , they are embarrassing them selves , not you .

Maybe it is because of all the hatred he spread in the 8 years he was in office and all the difficulty I had to get the help I needed when I needed it. So yes. You do not like my answer then do not read or like it. I had to many of my friends that are still waiting for help because of the rules he put into place for medical help. I was one of the lucky ones. It only took me 14 months and some are still waiting after 5 and 6 years.
