"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!" -Rudyard Kipling

If you told me back in 2010 that the guy who made 300 and WATCHMEN would get a decade and a blank check to make a DC Comics film universe, I'd have been thrilled. If you had then shown me the three awful movies we got, I wouldn't have believed Zack Snyder made them.

Others have pointed out this utterly betrays the book, because the disabled vet is at the recruiter to scare the squeamish. I want to point out the recruiter makes a point that the Terrans will accept anyone in the military, regardless of physical status. Commitment IS the point.

「Clout Strife」 @RandySTG

I love how Starship Troopers and Helldivers still filters people. It’s not about siding with the bugs, it’s recognizing that you’re being gassed up by a fascist government to fight a pointless war. The movie beats you over the head with the one point https://t.co/DD3gnRB6of

The entire point of Verhoeven’s work on this film was to spend the movie convincing you to side with the Federation, a fascist entity, through clever screenplay and propaganda to demonstrate the ease with which viewers can identify with and support fascist movements/institutions.
