bulletsponge13 posted:It still blows my mind that the film came out Pre-9/11. It's satire has numerous layers, and the neverending blowback war with the bugs totally fits with a GWOT world- entirely on accident. The GWOT forever war was pretty predictable post Persian Gulf. We knew what it was going to look like, just not what would be the inciting incident.

Imagine the point of view from some research scientist or doctor that got their education taken care of by universal education. poo poo they have a pilot that does orbital physics in his head after a botched pick up but poo poo all over this dude. The great joke is that the society he was a part of decided he was so loving dumb that the best thing he could do was be meat for the grinder....and he doubles down and goes officer and enjoyed it. Yep, and both his gung-ho hardman pol sci teacher and DI, the people who talked up service to him, are both dumb fucks that give retirement and his position respectively to dive back into the grinder.
