Sure, it's a propaganda piece, but it's an astoundingly well made propaganda piece.

Charming, interesting historically but terrifying propaganda in it's attempts to use everything possible in order to get young people to risk their lives without ever mentioning any negative possibilities. Of course it's stupid to criticize propaganda for being propaganda, but to get chills from something so seemingly harmless is still an interesting situation to find oneself in.

James Stewart makes US Army Air Forces sound like the greatest deal ever! So many benefits and not a single mention of maybe becoming one of the 50 million casualties of the war!
