If this was a subtle starship trooper reference, bravo:

For those that don't know, Starship troopers is a scathing satire about how "war makes fascist of us all".

Starship Tropers the movie is a brilliant "anti-anti-utopian" story.

To my puzzlement, some people don't notice how ironic it is, throughout.

The movie has its ups and downs, but the propaganda interludes were absolutely brilliant. I believe in the context of this discussion, the most relevant one is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_5UZfwX0ss.

I haven't found anything ironic about that movie up until now - last time I watched them was when I were about 11. Thanks.
