At the same time, I'm not sure the alternative would work.
Taliban offensive of 2021 and collapse of Afghan government.

Service guarantees citizenship!
Did you see any troons in that future? I'd rather live and fight and die for a leader of men at arms rather than suffer under some faggy democracy rub by fools

The book is pretty much "this but unironically"

Don't want to shit up the thread further with arguing about sci fi.
Afghanistan remains a giant failure.

iirc Heinlein wrote a book about dudes killing space bugs and jammed in a manifesto or two about whatever that stupid shit the chick he was banging at the time was yammering on about, then Verherhoerohvhehrehvhen started making a movie about killing space bugs then the studio remembered it owned the rights to Starship Troopers and ... yeah that's about it.

iirc Verherhoerohvhehrehvhen didn't even finish the book. Incidentally, we need cyborg police officers to clean up Detroit, and I could use some fake memories of Mars implanted in my brain. Basically, let's take his movies 100% at face value with no irony.

I think the direct-to-video sequels at least get the powered suits in, even if they're not the dank ancient Nue design from the ovas
honestly I never finished the book
too much manifesto, not enough robot suits vs bugs

The movie was an attempted satire that failed because nobody outside of purists knew what was being satirized. Ironically, it sort of horseshoe theoried itself and wrapped all the way around to become a solid cheesy 90s action movie.

The leader of the military in the movie was a black woman.
If this includes 3 breasted hookers, then I'm all for it!

Starship Troopers was primarily a treatise on the value of citizenship, and that your rights as a citizen should be commensurate with your duties to society. It was also a massive 'fuck you' to universal suffrage fetishists. It popularized the use of powered armor-equipped Mobile Infantry, to be later stolen by some English wargaming faggots and used to sell overpriced plastic miniatures, which they would go on to sue half the planet over.
Paul Verhoven, being a massive Dutch cocksucker, not only didn't read the book, he decided to intentionally torpedo the movie because 'MUH REICH WING SPACE NAZIS R ONLY GOOD FOR KILLING SPACE BUGS!'

I find it really suspect that it took this long for a livestream to pop up. Ruptly had one running for all of 50minutes before it was cut.As of this posting time, current live stream watching the Kabul airport.

Funny you should say that. Stream was just abruptly cut again at 1 hour.
