Family of slain Fort Hood soldier booed by passengers in First Class on flight as they traveled to get his remains

When Bernie Sanders said that we need to create a government that works for all of us and not just rich powerful special interests, he most certainly was including all military members. Especially those that are only earning the pay of E3 or E5 as these soldiers were.

These two soldiers and the civilians who I would undoubtedly guess are veterans trying to get a payday going over to the sandbox to help their families as contractors are no different.

The few comments i've seen here so far in this thread seem intended to be divisive. If your anger towards the media and service members can be justified by saying "there would have been no press if the family had not been a "military family" going to get the remains of a soldier" then I think you need to take a long look in the mirror about the privileges you have come from. The majority of the people that join the armed forces don't do so out of hate towards Russia, ISIS, or Hillary. They do it because it's often the way out poverty. They do it to get away from the gangs. Get away from a drug addiction. A lot do it because they have no where else to go and they see it as an alternate because they're promised college and medical coverage.

You might be right in saying that there would of been no press if the family had not been a "military family" like you so chose to say. But it does not make your justification right.

RIP to these two soldiers and civilians who lost their lives over this inexcusable war.
