Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
satire: not only dead, but dug back up and killed again for good measure
not really, military propaganda is really effective when its in a movie, eg top gun maverick , has seen a surge of recruit meeting qouta for the first time in years, the reason, top gun.
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.

seen the film a few times but something I didn't notice before was that the ship they pilot is called the Rodger Young
Born in the small town of Tiffin, Ohio, in 1932, Young suffered a sports injury in high school that led to his becoming nearly deaf and blind. Despite this, he was able to pass the exams necessary to enter the Ohio National Guard. Soon after the United States entered World War II, Young's company was activated as part of the U.S. Army. Soon after his activation, in 1943, Young was killed on the island of New Georgia in Solomon Islands while helping his platoon withdraw from a Japanese ambush. For his actions, he was posthumously awarded the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
so much of the movie is about the death drive
"we're gonna send you out to do stupid shit. sure you'll be killed... but we'll give your family a medal and the flag your corpse was wrapped in so it all evens out"
At least he died fighting fascists instead of impoverished peasant farmers.
I think that's the name of the ship in the book too, except Heinlein did it because he thinks it's cool, and not because he was satiring fascism.
me, joker laughing uncontrollably until being removed from the theater
