Hoser Satrapa (USN) was an instructor at NAS Miramar in the Navy Top Gun program. He was noted for pithy quotes and one of the favorites in the business is "no kill like a gun kill."
If you've ever wondered what it's like in a close-in engagement, listen carefully to the intro to this song. It's the real thing. High-G environment, straining and fighting your own body to stay in the fight under conditions which the human being was never designed for. In amongst the sound-track you'll hear the growl of a Sidewinder, but that's not really what the song is about. It's about what every fighter pilot instinctively wants to default to...going in for guns.
