The T-shirt in question.
Frankly, I’m also threatened by the fact that not enough soldiers are killing themselves.
Every day, I wear a shirt that says “support veteran suicide.” I also have a hat that says “kill yourself, faggot” and has a picture of a soldier with a gun in his mouth. I’ve never been kicked off any planes over this vocal stance. In fact, stewardesses regularly compliment me on it.
It’s not clear why stewardesses in particular are so avidly anti-veteran.
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.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.
Jeez.
Glad I missed that.
“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.’”
It’s San Francisco and all male stewardesses are gay by definition, so it’s likely that this individual associates the word “suicide” with trannies.
I would like to see tensions rise between homosexuals and the military.
