I started the movie at the point where Gen. Savage enters the base and
chews out the guard on duty and stopped at the point just after he finishes
his second talk to the squadron and walks out while ignoring a pilot asking
about transfers.
I asked them to go rent the movie to see the rest as a possible assignment
for their journal. However, I didn't make it a required assignment because
I had difficulty finding the movie at rental stores.

Martin,
You did not mention which segment you used. I hope at some
point you will show them the high price of leadership. At the end of the
movie, Peck psychologically loses it because he has become to close
to his men.
It is this part of the film that strays abit. Since he is a
valuable squadron commander, I would not expect to find him leading
bombing missions personally. Rather, it is an extreme example, for
dramatic effect I am sure, of leading by example that eventually leads to
self-destruction.
