The Starship Troopers game looks awesome

Haven’t read the book, and it’s at least a decade since I last saw the film, but what sticks in my mind is the fantastic pastiche of the “reportage of heroic acts on the front lines” form of propaganda

That was one of the ways Paul Verhoeven subverted the source material, which was unapologetically pro-fascist. Heinlein would have hated how the military was depicted as cocky, frequently incompetent bastards with little regard for the lives of human grunts, let alone alien civilizations.
