What's more, the veterans themselves won't have it so good either. A feature of small-coalition regimes is that the members of the coalition are always looking to expel members and reduce the size of the coalition, so that the surviving members can have larger fractions of the pie for themselves.

Yeah that’s a huge issue for some Native tribes with casinos as every person who gets kicked off their membership rolls means a bigger piece of the pie. Which is awful as people can lose housing they’ve been in for decades.

Starship Troopers is not a great movie. But it’s a lot loving better than the book it’s parodying and elevating at the same time.

Gonna politely disagree, it has flaws but a recent rewatch affirmed my belief it holds up well and I pick up something new each time. Especially as a satire of fascism, plus the battle scenes and starship models still look great.

It’s interesting to come away realizing the Federation is losing the war, Rico will likely be dead soon because of awful tactics, and the bugs didn’t start the war or know where earth is or have FTL tech but because of brain drains they are a super danger.
