Eh, to me Starship Troopers has a similar relationship to the book it was based on to Dr. Strangelove. It's an adaptation that kind of pokes at the ideas therein by adding a large dose of ridiculousness.

Which would be fine, if he'd read the fuckin book!

And if he'd made his satire understandable to the people who needed to see it.

No one sees Dr Strangelove and says "Wow, nukes are cool and we should let the government make more of them," but there are countless chuds who thought Starship Troopers was a great bug zapping movie, no notes.
