"On September 27, 204 Marines and soldiers who were returning from Iraq were not allowed into the passenger terminal at Oakland International Airport. Instead they had to deplane about 400 yards away from the terminal where the extra baggage trailers were located."
This was not a security measure. After going through super-tight security, checking for contraband, ammunition and explosives in Kuwait, the soldiers and Marines had been allowed in the terminal building in Germany and at JFK in New York. But on the far-left coast they were quarantined from civilians.

No Federal aid for Oakland and San Fran. This area should be boycotted by all God fearing American (and for more reasons then one). If I had a vacation planned there, I would cancel it.

I don’t think there’s any God fearing Americans left in Oakland, San Fransicko, or the Bay Area.

No, I changed my mind, I do have some words. Those **** wouldn't even let the Marines film in the streets. They refused to have a war ship as a museum, they vote to ban hand guns, they perform homosexual marriage, and now they refuse to let Marines in to the airport terminal! That city needs to be ejected from the Union! Remove it from California, cut their funding, sever their water supplies, and let the liberal filth in that city starve! I AM BEYOND FEDUP with San Fransicko!

I agree with you. This area should be boycotted by all God fearing American (and for more reasons then one). I also say no more aid for them until they stop the bs.

Liberals are idiots.
When ever I see troops in the airport I tank them.
If I have time I by them dinner or a beer.

This is a place full of worthless crap. These people need to be removed from their positions permanently.

I imagine that they were on a commercial flight. We should find out what airline and boycott them too.

I was recently in Philly and a young mother with a newborn Son was awaiting the arrival of her husband from Iraq.
The soldier had never held his Son and when he arrived and she handed him the child, the entire terminal erupted into applause

“Why didn’t they land them at Travis AFB?”
The armed forces have been drawn down so far that they charter commercial flights and use commercial airports.
C5 transportation is largely to and from CONUS these days.
