Gold Star Family of Slain Calif. Soldier Booed on Flight
According to the Tribune News Service a Gold Star Family on the way to collect their son's remains at Dover AFB were accosted and booed by the first class passengers when transferring American Airline flights in Phoenix to catch a flight to the east coast when the captain of the flight from the west coast asked that everyone remain patient and " Let a special military family exit the aircraft first " to make a needed connection. The commentary included " This is baloney " and " I paid first class for this ".
If this story is accurate are we starting to revisit the Vietnam era of fifty years ago or have we reached the point were the privileged think they have hired mercenaries to do their nasty jobs for them ?
