I don’t believe this story.
there are no words...
RIP young man.
CBS blamed Trump.
Me either
Well, the father goes on to insult Trump, and first class might have had no idea what was causing the delay when the booed being delayed.
I don’t understand this story.
BS made-up story by CBS....
When the father slammed Trump, I’m pretty sure the rest of the passengers had no idea why the father was on the flight...
The passengers might have booed a delay but I don’t believe they knew the cause of the delay.
Agreed.
Did this guy jump to a conclusion or did the crowd really know about the dead soldier coming come?
Then he dumps on Trump, because Trump was mixed up with that Gold Star family during the campaign.
I appreciate the young man’s sacrifice, and I am sorry for what his dad is going through right now.
This isn’t a time to tarnish your son’s memory by attacking folks like Trump who had nothing to do with his son.
I feel sorry the guy and his family but, he is confused on so many levels.
And no one would boo a flight being delayed because his son’s casket being loaded. They must not have heard why the plane was being delayed and only heard that is was being delayed and he makes note that it was 1st class who booe’d.
Sounds like some of that fake news that the MSM professional pimps and pimpettes were referring to. If it had actually happened you would have seen it played repeatedly morning, noon and night for the next 6 weeks.
No. It’s a disgusting insult to his son and it’s also the ONLY reason cbs reported this.
Once I saw that it was an alphabet reporting it, I knew something was amiss.
I absolutely do not believe that Anyone booed when a plane was delayed for the purpose of loading the body of a fallen Serviceman killed in action!
I’ve been on planes when a body was loaded. I’ve witnessed Amaercans weep. If anyone had booed, me and the remainder of the plane population would have stomp them into powder!
That was my immediate response too, why they bothered to cover this at all.
You know I just can’t imagine using the death of one’s child to take a shot at someone with who’s political views you disrespect.
But, hey, Stewart is obviously that kind of guy.
Well, well.
.
This sounds like a false story created by people who have no idea how fallen soldiers are actually brought home.
Soldiers who die in theater are brought to Dover, DE. Two members of the family may come at government expense to observe the Soldier’s coffin being moved from the airplane into a hearse. The family members are flown home after observing this dignified transfer.
After Dover, the Soldier is sent back home, to the funeral home that is handling the funeral. As far as I know, the Soldier has a military escort during the travel, and no one from the family is present.
So, from the get-go, this story rings false. The family would NOT be accompanying the dead Soldier. Furthermore, the idea that the family would blame Trump is ludicrous—Trump isn’t even in office yet, and has absolutely no say in current policies.
That’s my take on it too.
This guy seemed to have an agenda. Hey, that was my take on it after him going after Trump.
I can see some passengers booing if the plane was delayed and they didn’t know why. Even then, we’re talking about a few people. Most people just want to get their, and don’t want any hassles or to make any statements.
