US Airways slammed after flight attendant refuses hang Army Ranger's uniform jacket

The article was not from the 60's it is a current article. I find nothing trite about denigrating our military, you just get tired of it being rubbed in your face. You can know I will never stop defending our military from the liberals that spit on it.

The fact is foxy loxy, you could have easily agreed with me and proven your point about how badly some Americans treat our military, and agreed that they are always a liberal who does it. But instead, you choose to babble on defending that denigration, only proving my point of the entire thread

 

That's just a silly stereotype left over from the 60s. Many modern liberals even serve in the military.





​

 

Some people are still IN the 60's.....

 

... and I guess most of those are liberals. Maybe the robot guy has a point.




​

 

No, I was in the 60's and these ranters and screamers are reliving another era....and either can't, or won't, accept and honor liberal soldiers...

 

Ask that question to the flight attendant who did hang his jacket. Seems there was no real problem bending that rule....if it even is a rule. I haven't seen that stated as others have mentioned.

 

So in other words, no you don't have proof, you're guessing.

Do you know why the other first class passengers who actually witnessed this(unlike you) were appalled at the flight attendants behavior? Do you know their flight history?

 

There was nothing political about this at all. This was a case of bad customer service by one employee of the airline.

I posted a link in which another flight attendant on the same plane eventually hung up the guy's coat. I disagreed with the flight attendant because there was no policy by the airline that stipulates that only first class passengers are entitled to those amenities.

the problem that you have is that you want to make everything political, put people or groups down, and try to be something that you are not.

 

Every article I read said that a first class passenger took his jacket and hung it behind his seat in first class. It was shameful behavior by the stewardess to say the least. One passenger said that she threatened to get the pilot and he said that he wished that he had called her bluff.

 

What makes this soldier so special anyway?

 

With the volunteer service and consequently fewer citizens with actual "skin in the game" there has been an inversely proportional rise in military worship and/or fetishization (Is that a word?). Partly due to - for lack of a better term - "guilt" over not sacrificing anything vis-a-vis actual civic service. Akin to why American Jews are more gung-ho about Israel than even Israelis."Support The Troops" is a great example of shallow, knee-jerk uncritical response. Any deviation from the program is viewed as "hating the military" blahblahblah. Silly.

 

Ah yes, the "thank you for your service" mawkish adulation for anyone in a uniform who also, incidentally, automatically gets elevated to 'hero' status by the conservative element.

 

Spoken like a hippie from the 60's who never grew up...

 

I want to make everything political? Well duh! This is a political forum, and with the treatment from liberals disrespecting and disparaging our military, so yeah, it is political to me. You have your opinion, and I have mine

Please keep your personal BS attacks to yourself

Since you have to ask, you don't deserve to know

Move along foreigner

 

No, I really want to know what makes someone in a uniform any more special than anyone else. I'm pretty sure I know what your answer will be; he's a 'hero'. And not only that he's a patriotic, flag-encrusted American hero etc. Is that about right?
(Move along yourself, foreigner...)

 

Nothing, Snakestretcher. Nothing at all that you could understand. And, it isn't about him "being more special than anyone else". I'm sure you would have preferred that the folks who fought Hitler hadn't bothered.

It is amusing that I'm told I have to respect a crooked politician who won an election. Now winning an crooked election is really something deserving of respect, isn't it?

 

Ok, humour me. And please, no predictable crap about heroism, flags and patriotism ok? I've heard those.

 

In our nation, we hold our military to the highest of standards, just like some nations hold their teachers, doctors, etc. to the highest standard. It all has to do with honor and respect, and we respect our military for the sacrifices they make, with little compensation, and separation from their loved ones.

I can tell with each of your posts regarding this subject, you will not agree with anything I just said. I'm quite confident that you are one of those liberals I describe in my previous posts, who have a problem our military and with America honoring those that serve.

 

Your military get extremely well paid in comparison to those of other nations. Being away from their families is a choice they made. That, along with choosing to put a uniform on doesn't make them any more exceptional than you or I. You even give them medals for getting wounded!
And yes, I have a very deep and abiding problem with serially inept American warmongering-and please spare me the 'we saved your ass...' cliche. I've heard and debated that one too. I don't 'honour' losers (America is a first class act when it comes to military failure). You, of course, are free to do so.

 

If I remember correctly, I said something about the British Air Force joining the fight with ISIS and you were so quick to correct me that it's the ROYAL Air Force. We are proud of our soldiers just as you are proud of yours. I'm sorry that you don't understand Americans, but that's life...

 

Sorry. Humoring you isn't one of my pastimes. I'd rather feed pigeons.

 

Most heroes I've known do not seek recognition, do not seek accolades, do not seek special treatment.

 

Thank you so much for posting the perfect example of why I have such contempt for liberals, and my first response to your question to me of why I hold our military to the highest standard. Your above response is so typical liberal, I'm confident other posters here will think you're a plant to bolster my point.

 

A soldier has signed on the line to give his life, if needed, to protect the Nation and it's people......"anyone else" has not. Why you would even need someone to spell that out for you is beyond me.

Your statements in this thread validate the OP's opinion about Liberals and the Service. certainly one can understand where that opinion comes from reading the garbage you've littered in this thread.
