Well since Spence at DR had to bring up “Air Force’s ‘Not Science Fiction’ Commercial Totally Is” here is an oldie but goodie rebuttal from Sweden. That said, and in defense of the USAF, one DR commenter had this to say: “What do you expect them to show? A room full of Airmen sleeping through some PowerPoint briefing?” And to be honest, the "It's not science fiction" referred to the mission, not the futuristic a/c shown in the opening.
I appreciate that they didn’t bring up our ‘slaying the lava monster’ commercial shown to highschool kids on a daily basis in the early 2000s. Kids are not good at detecting tongue-in-cheek. If you had to sit through these things, our actions in the following decade would not have surprised you.
