Delta airlines welcomes Soldiers home

Delta Air Lines is facing intense criticism after charging 34 U.S. soldiers returning from Afghanistan $2,800 in baggage fees.

After an 18-hour layover, they said they learned of the bag fees when they checked in at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Tuesday June 7, 2011 for a 7:15 a.m. flight to Atlanta.

@WhtDrgn82 Oh please cut out the military Johnny comes marching home bravado. You are so full of your self. I dont respect you jerks at all. Do something productive for a living instead.

@gymgavin1 gymgavin1, I don't think we should get everything free. Maybe when it comes to flying on order/in uniform, then yes. I say in uniform, because there are not too many of us who do. Do you realize how difficult they are to keep clean? I get what you're saying, just to a degree. Good post though.

@duncan7599 It's because of us 'scumbags' you have the right to sit here and bash this video in English. You have to speak German, Russian, Japanese, or whatever other langauge we've fought throughout history, move there. Here's a quote I have as a signature from my military emails: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Voltaire, Writer. and I will continue to serve my country proudly.

Fuck you ass hole soilders who the fuck do you think you are? Everyone has to pay the extra carry on fees. You think cause your in the military everything should be free for you scumbags? Fuck off jerks.

Maybe they thought you were bringing back some of the Heroin you guys are helping the scumbag Afghan government drug dealers to produce for the youth of the world? I know you lads mean well but hey it's only money. It's not like someone dropped a bomb on your family when they were sleeping and wiped them all out. Imagine how bad you would feel then? In fact the next time you're in Afghanistan you should ask somebody how that feels. Lol.

I am sure there are some Delta Employees that are feeling pretty darn..."TOOPID", now.

Commerical Greed, no, employee's to lazy to check out with their supervisors at Corp is the problem......
