I fucking loved Independence day, but every time I watch the movie this glaring plot hole kills me. A fully loaded F/A – 18 can carry 2 sidewinder missiles and 4 aamram missiles (my numbers may be slightly off, but a missile here or there doesn’t matter in this case.) So, if the Alien’s shields are down, why was the attack plan to use fighter aircraft with little armament to try and take down something the size of a city? Why didn’t they just use their fighters as a diversion to occupy the alien fighters and then just use a squadron of B52s with bunker busters and carpet bomb the shit out of the aliens from high altitude?
Now in real life the aliens are people illegally crossing our borders. Unlike the president in the movie Independence Day, our president today does nothing to haze them
The scene where the American fighters assault the alien ship when the shields are done is one of the most bad ass scenes of all time. Best part about this movie is that Americans disables the alien shields and Americans take down the first alien ship and save the world. God Bless America!
