Starship Troopers, you had a choice. Civilian, or Citizen.
So, no "inalienable rights"?
No, "all men are created equal"?
No, "voting rights for all members of society"?
Also, I didn't notice any "humane treatment of POWs" in Starship Troopers...
Try to imagine Starship Troopers with all of the human characters played by terminator style robots barking in monotone or some grotesque insectoids speaking in clicks like in District 9 - - and the "bugs" played by human characters. Do you think your instincts might be inverted?
I also think part of the point of the movie is that we make a TON of assumptions about the "bugs" simply because we don't speak their language.
We assume they're some sort of "uniform hivemind", but THEY probably think the exact same thing about the humans. Why else would these human teenagers mindlessly follow orders to their certain doom if they were not part of some "uniform hivemind"? I mean, we never even see any of the "bug" civilians (and they never see any human civilians). Certainly the "bugs" must have some sort of food cultivation system, right? Homes and children? I mean, unless they're just immortal rock eaters? Did the "colonists" perhaps accidentally contaminate the "bug" planet, killing off their flora and fauna? Even if it was unintended, wouldn't that (quite reasonably) seem to cross the line of "criminal negligence" from the "bug's" perspective?
