    It was a couple years ago i read the book but if i don’t miss remember completely here, it is pretty funny how the sergeant makes all that talk and in the actual fighting (the little of it there is) they mostly sling nukes as a skirmishing tactic.

    Verhoevens best scene is the subversion of the the enlistment scene. In the book the recruitment officers says the line about “star fleet making him the man he is today” fully meaning it and the book never gives a hint that it junta system has any real flaws.
