The original work of Starship Fleet is a very serious science fiction novel, which involves many theories of military history, philosophy and politics, and criticizes the drawbacks of modern democratic society. It has been controversial because of its too much conflict with the American ideology that believes in superstitious democracy. The film director himself was extremely opposed to the original author's point of view, so he deliberately made the Earth Federation in the film look like a Nazi. At the same time, the dark humor made the audience think that this is not a serious story. The original is not so

Starship Troopers quotes

  • Sky Marshal Dienes: We must meet this threat with our courage, our valor, indeed with our very lives to ensure that human civilization, not insect, dominates this galaxy *now and always*!

  • Carl: We thought there might be a Brain Bug on 'P'.

    Carmen: You knew and still you sent them?

    Carl: We couldn't afford to launch an operation if there wasn't one.

    [both Carmen and Johnny look at Carl with contempt]

    Carl: You disapprove? Well, too bad! We're in this war for the species, boys and girls. It's simple numbers. They have more. And every day I have to make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths.

    Johnny Rico: Didn't they tell you, Colonel? That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.
