I thought that he and the kid who joined up protrayed what the world sees as the "typical American".
The retired NYPD guy - 9/11 happend, someone was responsible, the govm't finds out who, ok, now go in there and kick butt! Wild West Cowboys.
The new recruit - the army will give me direction and purpose. I can walk in off the street (did he have more than a high school education?) and be the next super pilot. (in reality doesn't he become the guy who shleps helicopter parts from storage to maitinence?) - not the sharpest tool in the shed.
