Actually the term "vomit" comes to mind. Really it wouldn't be a bad
move if you removed everything to do with the fighter squadrons from the
movie. That includes the way the pilots relate to each other, their
officers, the culture of the squadron, their operational procedures both
on the deck and in space, and all interpersonal relationships. Replace
all this and the writer with someone who has either spent:
A: at least five minutes in the military, or:
B: Spent five minutes reading a book by someone who once spent five
minutes in the military (Naval aviation would be nice).
And then you'd havea good movie!

P.s. The WC sountrack is good, however.
