United airlines pilot on my flight from Tokyo to LAX just now...

Made a special announcement to acknowledge the "large amount" of military servicemen on the flight and thank them for their service and welcome them home.

Fucking based.

(Sidenote: $22 for inflight wifi for a 9 hour flight is very much worth it. It's a Glorious thing to view all of your shitposts at 30k feet. )
