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.
