Starship Troopers (film)/WMG: Difference between revisions

Places like Monsanto have the exact right mix of long-term planning, ability to keep secrets, and absence of ''enlightened'' self-interest needed to pull off this sort of project. The end result of this project is a society in which almost no one is a citizen with voting rights—only people who have served, past tense, have the vote, and there are very few of those. The corporations in this society can steer the few people who are in charge to guide anyone who isn't in the military to outright hedonism, which is good for business and which is possible if the leadership is sufficiently far from Heinlein standards. Note that those seen outside the military are living in luxury if they have not been directly affected by a Bug attack.

 

* It seems pretty straightforward if you ask me. You have your quasi-fascist society which places a great deal of emphasis on military service. Said society is spread throughout at least half of the known galaxy and finds itself besieged by an insectoid alien menace. Replace the Mobile Infantry with the Imperial Guard, the Bugs with the Tyranids, and every fourth line with something involving the Emperor, and you can hardly tell the difference.

** The Guard have better tactics though.
