There's a ton of great content out there dealing with military subject matter (training / operations-related, motivational, entertaining & educational, historical, etc.); the idea is to have a fun and thought-provoking discussion, and to learn a thing-or-two while we're at it. If you can remember details but not the title; no worries, just post a description, and we'll activate the RP network to help find it. Here we'll discuss those defining sources that influence us, our culture, as well as public perception and opinion... sort of a representation of the "art-imitates-life, life-imitates-art" concept. Well, there's certainly some memorable content out there, I have my favorites and I'm sure that that you all do too. So, strap on your seatbelts, pull-up a keyboard, and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

I can't think of any good Air Force themed movies. Many of the early war movies are all Army Air Corps.
Honestly, the only one I can think of other than "Strategic Air Command" is "Broken Arrow". Seriously? A PRP pilot hijacks a B2 trying to steal nukes? No way...or at least I really really hope not.

I have two, "We Were Soldiers" and the HBO Series "Band of Brothers".
The first I think was Mel Gibson's best role. The second, by far the best series HBO has ever produced...and I am a big "Game of Thrones" fan.
Both had great examples of the importance of leadership. "Band" also showed examples of poor leadership, it wasn't a complete fluff piece is what I am getting at I guess.

The cast of the unit are great guys. I met them while they came to Camp Arifjan, and served on their PSD. Very down to Earth and kept thanking us for our service

I was also a big fan of the Unit wish it was still on. But right now it's NCIS. I was also a fan of China Beach back in the day.

SFC Mark Merino MSgt (Join to see) Okay I need to see China Beach! Too many celebrate it for it not to be excellent. I took awhile to get on board with a Band of Brothers. I guess I was skeptical but when I saw them, my life was changed.

It was on for four seasons 88-91. I liked Dana Delany - First Lieutenant (later Captain) Colleen McMurphy.
