Get serious! “Top Gun” was an entertainment movie, not a training film.

Of course, it was. The discussion was about recruiting tools. As the old advice to young women seeking a good husband, "What you catch them with, you'll have to keep them with."

If you recruit prospective pilots with visions of being "Maverick" you will have a more difficult time training them to be responsible, mature aviators.

"Rambo" is not a good recruiting movie. "We Were Soldiers", "Act Of Valor", "Sgt York" and Forever England (1935) are.
