The first movie my current boss (20 year army infantry guy with significant brainworms) and I ever discussed was starship troopers. It’s like we watched a completely different movie.
His take was, when he was in the army he shouldn’t vote because “that’s like voting for your own boss” which I guess is bad somehow. After watching the movie, his take is that you should only be able to vote if you’ve been in the military, but only after you get out (honorably of course) because of course he can’t purge that initial brainworm, just modify it slightly with another contradiction.
It was like talking to a brick wall trying to explain the satire
Edit: forgot to add, he also didn’t think he should vote while he was in because that’s the thing that would make him complicit with the warcrimes they committed. Not, you know, just following orders which is a perfectly valid moral defense to him.
