On Oct. 16, Catherine Banks, a Marine Corps veteran, was asked to get off her flight, which was departing out of San Francisco International Airport. Once she exited the plane, the flight attendant explained that Banks needed to change because her shirt was “threatening,” Banks told NBC Bay Area (KNTV). It featured a message about veteran suicide rates in the U.S.
“Do not give in to the war within,” the shirt read. “End veteran suicide.”
Banks said that after informing the flight attendant of her service, she was still forced to change on the jet bridge and had to turn her back away from the flight attendant because she wasn’t wearing a bra.
“I said, ‘Are you kidding me? I’m a Marine Corps vet. I’m going to see my Marine sister. I’ve been in the Marine Corps for 22 years and worked for the Air Force for 15 years. I’m going to visit her,’” Banks said. “He said, ‘I don’t care about your service, and I don’t care about her service. The only way you’re going to get back on the plane is if you take it off right now.’”
Banks also said that when she got back on the plane, she was forced to sit in the back instead of sitting in the seat she had paid for, which had extra legroom.
Veteran suicides are at an all-time high, according to United Service Organizations.
“In 2021, research found that 30,177 active duty personnel and veterans who served in the military after 9/11 have died by suicide — compared to the 7,057 service members killed in combat in those same 20 years,” the organization wrote on its website.
Banks’ shirt is sold by Til Valhalla Project, which honors soldiers by raising funds for families to receive memorial plaques after their

Who complained?
What Airline?
Some MagaDS screaming psychopathic Karen taking inspiration from Her Royal Hiney.
Sorry, Delta.
Why do I think there’s more to this story, beyond the fact that it’s being reported by an America-hating outlet?
Sue the ahole airline and the faggot “flight attendant” separately. Publicize his (it’s) name.
And no more bailouts for these ConAir prototypes who call themselves “airlines.”
Just sue the airline.
That flight attendant needs to be fired. And #### Delta.
Removing the shirt seems obnoxious and unnecessary to me. But they also made her move to a different seat? I suppose because some other passenger felt "threatened" by her whether she was wearing the shirt or not? What makes that other passenger so damn important??
A Bay Area passenger was forced to deplane from a Delta Air Lines flight and change clothes after a flight attendant took issue with her T-shirt.
Delta was a C$ airline, decades ago to Vets and active duty
people, decades ago.
Figures, Delta sucks. Their first class doesn’t even come close to business on any decent airline and their service sucks. Doesn’t surprise me that their personnel are anti-American. I’ll never use them again. They be run out of business.
Well she wasn’t wearing a bra. That might have made a poor impression.
So many people should not have an iota of power.
Delta. Of course.
“Well she wasn’t wearing a bra. That might have made a poor impression.”
I doubt any woman in SF wears a bra, so that didn’t get my attention.
I’m wondering if the attendant is just very ignorant.
We are starting to question, “What next?” I see a slippery slope these airlines are stepping onto. What the need to worry about is keeping tires on the airplane, doors secured to the airplane and not flying their planes into each other.
Uh, Delta. It says that in the headline.
