American Airlines is charging troops for their extra baggage, a practice that forces soldiers heading for a war zone in Iraq to try to get reimbursement from the military. AA recently charged two soldiers from Texas $100 and $300 for their extra duffel bags.

Not classy…

    That is bullshit! If they’re gonna do this then they should take “American” out of their name and replace it with “Asshole.”

    I believe that there is a special ring of hell for people who try to make a profit of our service men and women. I don’t think I will ever need to fly un-American again.
