You are absolutely correct that the booing of this soldier's question was disrespectful, and for many reasons. I just think in the venue it was done, which was a debate, that the question itself displeased those who reacted, and not that the question came from this soldier. The reaction was a gut one, and probably there are those who wished they could have controlled their emotions in hindsight.
