If you need any more proof that Hollywood and the government work together, here you go.

This is obviously not a bombshell. But I personally enjoy very much when I find something that proves conspiracy theorists right.

We all know Top Gun and other military movies are just recruitment efforts by the US military and that the government manipulates the masses with media. But this is absolute confirmation of that.

The Navy just gave tom cruise the highest civilian Navy award for his work in top gun and the massive effect it had on recruiting Navy pilots.

I'd also like to point out that the first top gun movie came out shortly before Desert Storm where military pilots played a major role in the bombing campaign that started the invasion.
