The President. The F-16s. The whole name "Independence Day." It was definitely a movie about the United States. Realistically, they just roped in the whole rest of the world in a montage at the end. That's how I felt it was played at the time. Zeitgeist or something? I'd have to even look when that came out.
If the story were X-COM, I'd agree with you about humans vs aliens. They should make a movie about that.
Agree with what you said, but to be correct, those are F-18s in the movie, not F-16s.
Except for the part where Will Smith makes his way back to his "Navy" base, and you can see an F-16 tail sticking out of the wreckage, with "LF" on it, indicating it is from Luke AFB.

Thanks.

Odd that they did that. I've been close to Luke and seen the F-16s :) And in Texas. It's probably why I generically refer to fighter jets as F-16s. Funny place for a Naval base, lol.

That always bothered me for some reason.
Thanks.
