“Hear me out, I’m no bug sympathiser… ”
: Seems like something a Bug Sympathiser would say 🤨

"We have no info on their culture, their history or what they look like. But we do know this: they stand for everything we don't stand for!

Also, they said you guys look like dorks!"
- Major General Zapp Brannigan

"I'm no bug sympathiser"
Do you hear treason?
I hear treason.

I got Starship Troopers on VHS as a birthday present when I was 10. Might be the best gift I've ever got.

That "The mobile infantry made me the man I am today" scene is something I think about often.

He did not say violence is the answer. He said violence is the root of all power, which is correct.

Movie: "Violence isn't the answer... it is the question... AND THE ANSWER IS YES!!!"

'Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?" Is forever engrained in my brain. Best line ever.

Some clues you missed to the satire:
- The part with kids smashing bugs and the teacher laughing maniacally
- Neil Patrick Harris and all his scientists dressed in full SS Nazi garb at the end

Casper Van Dein is just as much of a fan as we are

He even reacted to HD2 and said it was exactly like Starship Troopers

"Dean Norris is in this movie too" - Shows a different Micheal Ironside.

The orbital defense platform couldn’t shoot down the Buenos Aires meteor because the Federation hadn’t built it yet.

Serving the federation doesn’t just mean military service. You could theoretically be missing all of your limbs, But if you wanted to serve the Federation would do everything possible to find you a job.

Fun fact in the book( go read it, it's great) the arachnids are not the only alien species. There is a 2nd species called the skinnies who initially are allied with the bugs but later start to help the federation in their war against them.

Edit: they weren't allied, they were enslaved by the bugs.

Man this movie rings so true with my own military experience.
Some buddys and I put this movie on in our barracks room one night,  we loved it but it definitely made us reflect on our own decisions

Fun Fact on the book the movie is based off of. The only thing that could prevent a person from signing up for Federal Employment ( Which is what the cast did) is TWO psychologists had to sign off that YOU could not understand the "Oath of Service", and if you did NO MATTER YOUR PYHSCIAL CONDITION, the Gov is bound to find you a position to work for them.

They filmed starship troopers in my hometown when I was a little kid. All of the battle scenes were filmed in a dried out lakebed called Hell's Half-Acre, in Wyoming. A lot of the people around town too were cast as extras and theres so many stories about all the drills and training they had to go through to realistically make the movie. Some people still have body armor and guns too. They realistically made 1000 sets of body armor and uniforms, and then I cant remember how many they made but the Morita Assault Rifle was actually designed as a real rifle. Obviously it fired blanks not bullets, but its why a lot of the effects look so good. Its not CGI laser guns they are shooting, it pushes the line as close as possible to a real war movie.

Also different movie, but one of the big actors from Paul Verehoeven's Movies named Michael Champion (Old guy with White Hair and Aviators from Total Recall, he was chasing Arnold as Michael Ironside's partner). Mike spent the rest of his life in my home town. My friends and I signed up for a boxing class like 10 years ago, and we were watching Total Recall before class one night when I realized Mike was the guy from the movie. I ran to class that night like OMG YOU WERE IN TOTAL RECALL! Mike just goes OMG I KNOW. I short circuited, I wasnt prepared to be right about any of this as I grew up in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. XD

Everyone around Paul Verehoeven though has so many stories though, and holy crap are they all so badass.

To be clear, Mr. Rasczak did say violence solves everything. His statement about force speaks to how reality functions. Laws are only able to be followed if those around it understand there is a threat of force/violence. If someone breaks the law, you expect that an ENFORCEMENT OFFICER would come and take them away for breaking said law.

When you vote you are putting forth your extension of your will, or force, in order to change the system.

When you have a conversation of differing opinions, you are risking violence in order to resolve conflict.

Remember who we’re fighting for….dizzy, we’re fighting for dizzy
