VFMAC in film
editThe recent controversy of Tom Cruise's so called "rant" during Mission Impossible 7 sounds a lot like an old-fashioned VFMA&C "chewing-out" for group misconduct. He learned a lot more by portraying Cadet Captain Shawn of BHMA in Taps than one might think. If you notice, there are several components to his discussion with the crew. First, he was loud but his voice was controlled. Second, he told the crew that the conduct was not acceptable. Third, he told them why the conduct was not acceptable. Fourth, he told the crew that there would be a consequence for repetition of the behavior. Fifth, he repeated that the conduct was not acceptable. His group sized reprimand was right out of the 1960's-1980's discipline at a military school. Incidentally, has anyone ever noticed how Mr. Cruise stood at attention during the Board of Inquiry in Top Gunafter "Goose" was killed? LT Mitchell's position of attention was "perfect." It's interesting that what seems to "shock the conscience" of the media, today, was common-place a half a century ago. Just an old man's two-cents worth; no official opinion of what happened long-ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.106.231.53 (talk) 17:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Title XI?
editSince when is Title IX actually Title XI? In other words, how and why is what is universally known in USA academic circles as Title Nine actually Title Eleven? If it is, it merits discussion in the text. If it is not, then is this in fact an elaborate form of vandalism? 01:49, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
Tom cruise fan page as a source?
editI looked at that page, it's a lot of undocumented hearsay, it doesn't really belong as a source on this page. It also presents contradictory info; Tom Cruise wasn't originally cast in a starring role, and won it out of precision drilling every day in training, so it seems unlikely that he would have "chosen to training for his hotel room" when his exact level of participation in the film was still in question. 72.88.243.65 (talk) 04:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
