Disgraceful

Two things:

First, just disgraceful and shameful behavior.

Second, to our military guys especially- see the bolded part at the end. Did this man die needlessly because women are allowed in combat situations? I can't help but wonder.

STOCKTON, Calif. --
The father of a California soldier recently killed in Afghanistan says he felt disrespected and hurt by passengers who booed him and his family when they were on a flight to meet his son's remains.

Stewart Perry, his wife, and daughter were on an American Airlines flight Monday from Sacramento to Philadelphia with a transfer in Phoenix to receive the remains of his son, Sgt. John Perry, of Stockton, when the flight was delayed, the Stockton Record (http://bit.ly/2fFOIRc) reported Saturday.
Perry, an ex-Marine who lives in Stockton, said the flight to Phoenix was 45 minutes late and the crew, fearing the Gold Star family could miss their connecting flight, made an announcement for passengers to remain seated to let a "special military family" deplane first.

Perry said several passengers in first class booed, complaining that it was "baloney" and that they paid first-class fares. He said he doesn't know if the passengers from Sacramento knew there was a Gold Star family on board or whether people sitting in the coach section complained.

Perry, 30, and another American soldier died of injuries inflicted by an improvised explosive device Nov. 12 inside Bagram Airfield.

The husband and father of two young children died a hero, his father said.

"He made a decision that saved a lot of people," he said. "I was told that he was found protecting a female soldier. . He didn't get to live a full life, but he lived."

Yeah, I read about that.

There were a lot of people on that plane that need to be deported with extreme prejudice. Test pilots for the deportation catapults.

I think we saw a lot of true colors come out during and after this election. Crap during the election that was tied to the tolerant liberals. But the real story was the slogans of 'when they go low, we go high" & all kinds of absolute crap coming from them about tolerance, peace & other BS. And now the majority act like animals and scumbags. The majority of those left speak out just as disgusting. Then you have very little sprinkled here and there that spoke out about the violence and destruction afterwards. The only thing I can conclude is that liberals like this stuff or don't care about it.

Then you see crap like this. I've seen many incidents where scumbags are out there mistreating anyone and everyone remotely supporting Trump. Yup, many things pointed out where Trump supporters pulled crap too! But a few were found out to be fakes, and the others are just as much assholes. But SO SO many more coming from Hillary supporters. They should be ashamed. But they won't, because now suddenly this behavior is acceptable.

I hope American Airlines contacts this family, and they should give them a lifetime of free flights, in an apology on behalf of the scumbag actions of the liberals acting out on their airplane.

A soldier died in the line of duty. Unless otherwise stated, end of story. Had it been a noncombatant female he be lauded as a hero.

The bum that got ride in seats where you can stretch your legs and still feel them by end of flight needs his ass beat. Don't have to guess who THAT selfish puke voted for.

The nation has fallen so far. Remember around September 15, 2001 everyone had American flags out and how patriotic we were? This wouldn't have happened 15 years ago.

Sometimes you just have to shake your head, wondering what goes through peoples minds -
providing they have any conscious.

I volunteered at USO with people who gave their time to the USO group Families of the Fallen. Because we are at Philly airport, many of these families arrived there on their way to Dover AFB to be with their fallen loved one. We had a private lounge for these dear families, with couches, tons of food, beds., etc. And they were given a personal escort throughout the airport for however long they needed to be there.

I just relate all this to hopefully make us all feel a bit better after reading that horrid article.

No Abbey. That man (in uniform) died protecting a fellow Human being in uniform. That's the difference between civilians, and members of the military. There are no Gender differences when in Harms Way, at sea, in the air, or in a fox hole. Each man or woman in uniform is there to protect the guy, or gal next to him, or her. That's just how dedicated Military people are.
Anyone who disputes that, probably hates the fact that both genders are in uniform, serving in one way, or another.
If he gave his life. He did it for EVERYONE in, and out of uniform.
