There is only one thing that makes me want to throw myself from the cabin of a plane than a screaming baby, and that's someone who starts singing.

We often see Glee Kids wailing down packed cabins of filled planes with their renditions of Wicked or Taylor Swift songs. However, this time it's a veteran who has become so overwhelmed by patriotic fervor that he has decided to bellow 'God Bless The USA' into the onboard in-flight microphone.
A number of people were invited to perform at the various inauguration balls of Donald Trump, and a few of them accepted. Of all the performers though, one stood above the rest. Lee Greenwood, the all-American patriot, led the show with "God Bless The USA" and this veteran wanted to emulate his patriotic love.
So, up he got. At the head of the plane, the veteran grabbed the tannoy and belted out his heartfelt song. Apparently, the flight was one of the ones coming back from the inauguration, so I guess he picked his audience. The video shows a few people joining in, but out of pity or patriotism is anyone's guess.
Does He Take Requests?
The flight back from the excitement of the inauguration was always going to be a long and boring one. However, this veteran certainly tried his best to perk it up with his "God Bless The USA" rendition. I wonder if he could do a little bit of Rhianna.
It's only in America that this kind of thing could happen. If a Frenchman got up to the front of a plane to sing 'Non, je ne regrette rien' he would be pelted with in-flight magazines until he sat back down. But, nothing quite matches US patriotism, and we end up with scenes like this veteran singing "God Bless The USA."
It seems not everyone in the comments is a fan either. "I would of screamed bomb just to get off," one commenter says. Another person spots the clearly put-out passengers having to listen to the madness. "Guy in the mask is rage texting," they point out. Veteran or not, not everyone wants to hear "God Bless The USA."
I think I would have felt the same. What kind of madness inspires someone to belt out patriotic songs on a plane full of people?
