No kidding, I wish they hadn’t called it Starship Troopers. It was apparent that the screenwriters and the director were taking the source material and twisting it for their purpose. I understand why the essential society of the book would go over about as well as a sh*t sandwich at the time the movie was released. But they could have made the same movie without destroying the Heinlein brand in the minds of anyone who watched the video (s).
