Default Top Gun CUNNINGHAM: I broke the law, concealed my conduct and disgraced my office.

CAPT. CHARLES NESBY, CUNNINGHAM FRIEND: That's the nature of the beast
in all of us that are fighter pilots. You're naturally aggressive.


Bull Crap Nes; you can be aggressive as hell and still remain honest.
Actually, in a twisted way, although aggressiveness is a must in flying high
performance airplanes; honesty is even more important a trait in a fighter
pilot.
An aggressive fighter pilot who is incapable of assessing his own
performance honestly will soon become a dead fighter pilot!
