it's not just British people.... I mean, heck, Haldeman's 'The Forever
War' was almost a direct counterpoint to 'Starship Troopers' (though
I doubt they'll ever make a movie of it...

>>> no-one got blown up by their own nuclear bombs it was a disappointment.

The bug hardware is even worse, lessee, they throw rocks that go somehow
faster than light, then slow down when they enter our atmosphere
so ships can dodge them, and manage to hit a precise target on a spinning
globe....

I guess rocks do that if you put enough english on them....

(and hey, I enjoyed the movie...)
