I didn't think of militarism at all when I watched it. I still have no concept of politics. After reading a lot of film reviews, I realized that the movie talks about a lot of political systems. I just watched it as a science fiction movie! So when I looked at it, I randomly pieced together some logic, thinking that the Zerg attacked humans first, and humans just fought back. After carefully recalling some details, it seems that this is not the case, and then I feel that the Zerg is very pitiful, and the insects are also life, and militarism is unacceptable. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if the politicians go to the battlefield themselves as cannon fodder.

Starship Troopers quotes

  • [as the unloading of Mobile Infantry from the starfleet continues, one transport is hit and destroyed by planetary bug plasma energy fire as hundreds of plasma energy bolts are flying all around the starfleet]

    Captain Deladier: This isn't random or light. Someone made a mistake.

    Zander: That's it. Drop status is 100%. We're empty, ma'am.

    [suddenly in front of them, a starship's starboard engines are hit by plasma energy fire. Captain Deladier, Carmen and Zander look in horror as the ship veers off course and crashes into another starship, setting both afire]

    Captain Deladier: Someone made a BIG goddamn mistake! Break for high orbit! Evasive action, now!

  • Carl: So you haven't done it yet, have you? Don't lie!

    Johnny Rico: I'm not in any hurry.

    Carl: [Indicating Dizzy Flores] Others are waiting.

    Johnny Rico: [Looking at Dizzy] Did you read her mind?

    Carl: Don't have to. It's pretty clear what she wants.

    Johnny Rico: Yeah, but I want Carmen.

    Carl: Oh, you got it bad!
