I did not feel like this film had any kind of a recruiting air to it. If anything, I felt like, "dang, it's so hard to get the level these pilots were on in the military, not really worth trying at this point in my life." What I did feel was pride. Proud and thankful that there are individuals like these who are willing to try so hard and fight so hard against those kinds of odds to not only chase their dreams, but to protect us all in doing it. I'm not dying to join the military after watching this film, I'm dying to go out and chase my dream with the kind of passion these two did, and become a better American in doing it. I've never been so inspired before. Wish I was a kid again.
