The director used a script that was basically anti-war, and implied that the bugs were merely a prop enemy to justify endless war, a la Ender’s Game. Verhoeven was illusrating how nationalism and patriotism work together in common purpose to keep the power structure strong.

I liked the book Starship Troopers, but it was a different book to the movie is all I’m saying.
