"To fight the bug, we must understand the bug." WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT?!?! She's the replacement? Let Lt. Radczek from the roughnecks be sky martial. The war would've been over in a year, instead of 10+ according to the films...
The MI are trained to fight other soldiers, their armour and weapons are designed to fight other soldiers too, their tactics for fighting an enemy such as the arachnids are horribly wrong too, i mean, they line up to combine fire on a single enemy, a single bug could get one good swipe and disable if not kill a good few soldiers in a single strike, i would have my men spread out for definate and well apart from ineffective gear and weaponry i cant suggest much else.
if u played the game they make better troops called the maraduer. the maraduer has better armor and weapons, but there are only about 10 of them so they only use them for special purposes
He only finds it offensive cause when he gets angry like he does there he's got that bugeyed look and is worried people might mistake him for a brain bug.
That doesn't matter, since everything is orchestrated by the government. To win the public opinion for the new strategy, the state controlled media performs proxy debates between a serious person and a buffoon with a fly.
Why should they bother sending troops to look for a brainbug, when they easily just could napalm these bugs from the air? Answer: Because the sinister military need a brainbug for one of their sinister plans. But they can't admit that in public, so they put up a mock debate with someone you can trust and someone who's a buffoon. In real life you can witness that on FOX , where they always try to book the most wacky liberal for interviews, hoping they make a fool out of themselves.
Even if they have tanks here, they would still lose, give the terrain and the limitation of wheeled and tracked vehicles in mobility, specially against the "human-wave" (a.k.a. rush type) attacks, not like the "mecha" type vehicles, which has a slight advantage over tanks.
This is probably why in the original novel, the Mobile Infantry is equipped with the powered armor they called "Marauder"
Awesome how the movie used War techniques from WW I. I guess it is much more entertaining then just nuking the planet to hell and calling it a day :-P
can someone explain why would they come to the planet like hell fight with those bug-things for ? just leave them alone ( I didn't watch the movie though ) :(
actually, humans started the war because they invaded Klendathu first. We can see this with the colonies already there (where the dead people with holes in their head were first seen). The bugs, not happy with it, kill them and shoot and asteroid to seal the deal
The problem is that the bugs won't stop fighting them. Humans in the book colonized Bug planets, the bugs got angry, slaughtered them, and started hurling meteors from Klendathu.
Let me see. They deploy their troops in one big mob. No air support, no Naval support, no Armor, no artillery, no support fire. they deploy their support ship in nice 18th century formation that gets them shot out of the sky.
I have question, at what point in future does 5000+ of military history, tactics and common sense go out f-ing window? I guess what happens when civilians, not military people write books or make movies.
The book was completely different than the movie. In the book each mobile infantry was trained to a level that would put navy seals to shame. And they flew around in atomic powered armored suits with tactical nuclear missiles on their shoulders and all sorts of firepower. 1 M.I. could blow up multiple cities. In the movie they suck ass and anyone could become one.
Remember: this was the first time they actually engaged the bugs in combat and they just assumed they were dumb animals. Also, they did give air support etc, but that was either shot down or had no effect (bugs just hid underground). I see your point with artillary though: I would at least set up some long-range mortars in the Landing Zone to provide cover for the infantry.
this film is a highly intelligent attack on western military imperialism, and the propaganda that it creates. And we never know who actually starts the war, although it hints that we did
omg those soldiers take forever to kill just 1 bug... why not use tanks and robto walkers... a human is not some sort of invincible creature.. i mean like they dont even care about their soldiers.. they just want to win but they cant if they donnt care and give support to their soldiers..its like-
o wait.. is thi in the future? cuz if it is... wth is like the past.. they dont even have laser s and stuff....they shuda made stuff like the AT-ST and AT-AT from Star Wars...
If this was the future [but its just a movie :P] the human race would have demised.. most likely a type of short - term lasting chemical to wipe out the arachnids, to keep it habitable and to kill the arachnid species. We wouldn't 'throw more meat into the grinder'.
Yeah, but these guys are the mobile 'infantry'. I guess there were probably tanks but not many. Remember that this was a beachead assault: like a futuristic D-Day
well what i wanted to say at the time was. why bother having tanks and armor, when you can perform the zerg tactic. have enough people to kill the bugs, why bother spending money on tanks? a soldier is a lot cheaper to replace than a tank.
Well I expect they didn't use tanks because of the terrain of Klendathu: very rocky with lots of cliffs and fissures. I expect the bugs would develop new species to combat the tanks, too. Technically the use of tanks would make things worse :/
they did that and yet there were still thousands of bugs underground. the planes can't hit that deep into the earth. and besides, if a few big bugs can destroy the carrier ships, fighter planes won't stand much chance
Lols: they tried about fifty times to burn/bomb the planet but the bugs just had a huge breeding colony underground and they still had what, billions of bugs left (it is their homeworld).
Oh yeah, and another reason why they don't use tanks is that the bugs dig tunnels close to the surface: allowing both the bugs to get around quicker but also doubling as a pitfall for anything heavier than a few dozen soldiers :D
then you do what starfox did and put boosters on the bottom of your tank so if you fall you can hover for a bit and get out :) surely a military country who can put a nuke into a rocket launcher can put jet engines under a tank.
The whole movie, unlike the book, is very "anti-war". Notice in the other news broadcast, they mispronounce Arachnid as "Iraq-nid", and that the military is shown as displaying gross incompetence, unlike the book, and the guy at the end who is like the stereotypical redneck who things all Muslims are terrorists. Science Fiction is almost always a critique on modern society.
Humans break down faster and more easy then most vehicles and most armies now a days have mechanics that move with the fighting force and makes repairs as they go.
well. if the bugs could destroy the huge star cruisers things from space with their turds, what would a car do? If you watch the cg animation series "Roughnecks: starship trooper chronicles," they got some cars and robots. Its old but is good. Watched it every morning before school in the mid 90s.
we humans think that wwe are teh "gods o teh universe" (i don think that, and other ppl neither)so they do what they want like "send one soldier to pwn A COMPLETE CIVILIZATION (bugs) and they think it will own...god...they dont have brains at all.....if nukes dont work...use armored vehicles...if there is no oil, use solar enegry...(duh)...at times like this we can all be generals........
Humans with intelligence,anybodee ever seen one.One reads of such things possible of course,but the average human just defies the concept,I am at a loss here.
if you have seen the movie you would know that their ships were being ripped apart by artillery turds on orbit while the infantry on the ground was processed to grindmeat. So no airstrike while their ships were on fire. But no worries. Few minute after this scene the federal airforce carpet bombed an entire bug hive with napalm^^
I agree with mrsnygg94, why not nuke the planet from orbit, then sending a light mass army of infantry only, into a planet controled by 15 ft giant bugs that could rip you in half in 3 seconds. I mean they could at least make vehicles, like tanks, A.P.C.s, Robot Walkers, I mean somthing that could protct a soldier from being ripped apart...comeon doesn't any of those scientist have a brain?
Now that you point it out, there aren't many land vehicle like tanks in the Starship Troopers universe... maybe in the future oil ran out or something and the Federation's military only uses infantry, nukes and spaceships/attack planes than run on some kind of advanced nuclear power or something.
Assuming that nukes were mostly useless against the bugs since they would just go deep underground and are immune to radiation poisoning, maybe a massive infantry assault was the only option :p
hey lets attack the bugs hand to hand instand of nuking the damn planet from the galaxy. im i right lets for a army of 150000 troppers and invade the planet :/
lol....if i waz 1 ov those soldiers and i saw those coming toward us,id be like"ummmm...what king dumbass would send these soldiers to there deaths!!!im out yo."
Lol, that guy at the end is the most annoying guy I have ever seen.
'Have you ever seen bugs that are that intelligent' - Just because they are called bugs does not mean they are bugs, its a nick name, they are aliens, not earth bugs, geez.
If he's so sure the bugs are just dumb insects, then maybe he'd care to explain the royal ass-raping the MI and fleet just suffered a their hands... claws...what ever
Paul Verhoeven had something to say about fascism and America in that movie. That movie is even more valid now than the year it was on theaters, it was far t be a simple action movie.
100,000 casualties in an hour? Haven't they have the idea of using heavy cavalry support instead of landing infantries against the grinders. Well, they sure did underestimate the grinders.
smartass says no bug can think and in the movie they find a brain bug XD then in #2 more evidance that bugs can think.(despite the fact #2 is a failure due to bad acting)
The radiation might be good, but the blast would problably be better! And even if not, why even put soldiers there in the first place?! I mean, it's the future, you gotta have somekind of robot/tank! Even a chopper would be better since it fly over the bugs on the ground and shoots down the rest. Guess thats the price of stupidity...
I dont think that would be a good idea, the whole point about the Mobily Infantry is it's mobility and adaptive qualities (infantry + air support can adapt betterto terrain then tank tracks
Sure,some tanks would be able to cause some major damage, especially with infantry support but as those warrior bugs can run really fast, those tanks would probably be swarmed and be toppled or worse.
It would also be pretty unlogical to deploy ground vehicles on a planet that you're about to abandon anyway
I thought this is a clip of Starship troopers? Read the book it is, arguably better than the film. As for Africa. They wanted independance, they have it. They wanted the whites out, we left. Is it their own fault they are poor? So how come I earn more in a day,(UK) than a South african in a month? Something, somehow is very, very unfair. I Dont pretend to have answers, just questions.
the starship tropers was just infantry they should have APC's, tanks, mashine gunners (lots of them) and armored viechles and they alredy have air stuff and that stuff + som bigass ships with lots of bigass cannons too!
lmfao this movie is really gory but it owns...also 300 years into the future shouldnt they have more advanced body armor like super soldgiers I mean come on...throwing abunch of soldgiers with light armory with abunch of limb chomping bugs on it isnt a very smart idea. oh yeah and they should have better weaponary...
god, the guy at the end is such an ass

Paul Verhoeven had something to say about fascism and America in that movie. That movie is even more valid now than the year it was on theaters, it was far t be a simple action movie.

y dont they use tanks or giant robots to kill them instead of infantry.
vincet118 3 years ago 2
because humanity gets really stupid when they get very advanced and they feel that they are untouchable

100,000 casualties in an hour? Haven't they have the idea of using heavy cavalry support instead of landing infantries against the grinders. Well, they sure did underestimate the grinders.

In the book starship troopers, rico was supposed to be a wealthy filipino.

The music in this movie, mainly when the Roughnecks are defending that outpost, when they get desecrated, reminds me of Gears of War music.
Not in this video, though.

huh? nuke the planet to oblivion
EVariation 3 years ago 3
i dont understand why they didnt nuke the shit out of the entire planet?
zajaco67 3 years ago 2
cause its the source of the fleets fuel apparently. if they nuke the planet, no more fuel + no more fleet = one fucked planet =D
namdrut 3 years ago
Naah... Its not the fuel source. They got some reactor shit there. But as for Zajaco...
You know what? Thats a god damn good idea!
On their place I would nuke the planet so hard every day and every night till its so radioactive no shit would come on surface without eventual death.
but! Those are bugs... they may ignore radioactivity or something... I dont know. Beside they live underground, so that probably wont be a good idea.

but in the game they say before the first mission that hesperus is where the fleet gets all its fuel supplies from.
namdrut 3 years ago
The radiation might be good, but the blast would problably be better! And even if not, why even put soldiers there in the first place?! I mean, it's the future, you gotta have somekind of robot/tank! Even a chopper would be better since it fly over the bugs on the ground and shoots down the rest. Guess thats the price of stupidity...

The Troopers should have brought Tanks, Jeeps, APC'S, Helicopters, and Jets to at least kill the bugs.
masterchief2702 3 years ago
they did have jets n bombers, but i dont see why they didnt have tanks...

the starship troopers should have armoured ground viechles with them.
Tarik360 3 years ago
I dont think that would be a good idea, the whole point about the Mobily Infantry is it's mobility and adaptive qualities (infantry + air support can adapt betterto terrain then tank tracks
Sure,some tanks would be able to cause some major damage, especially with infantry support but as those warrior bugs can run really fast, those tanks would probably be swarmed and be toppled or worse.
It would also be pretty unlogical to deploy ground vehicles on a planet that you're about to abandon anyway

I thought this is a clip of Starship troopers? Read the book it is, arguably better than the film. As for Africa. They wanted independance, they have it. They wanted the whites out, we left. Is it their own fault they are poor? So how come I earn more in a day,(UK) than a South african in a month? Something, somehow is very, very unfair. I Dont pretend to have answers, just questions.
romanbrough 3 years ago
the starship tropers was just infantry they should have APC's, tanks, mashine gunners (lots of them) and armored viechles and they alredy have air stuff and that stuff + som bigass ships with lots of bigass cannons too!

lmfao this movie is really gory but it owns...also 300 years into the future shouldnt they have more advanced body armor like super soldgiers I mean come on...throwing abunch of soldgiers with light armory with abunch of limb chomping bugs on it isnt a very smart idea. oh yeah and they should have better weaponary...
