This short scene (2 mins) from the 1996 blockbuster is a quaint variation of patriotic speeches. Here, the fictional American president gives a motivational talk to the last surviving human fighter pilots before an imminent battle with an alien invasion force. The speech is full of references to the Declaration of Independence, mixing American ideals and ideological concepts with and a popcultural science fiction premise, and is therefore well-worth examining.
