Rogan Josh - I haven't seen that in the book... Especially with the ending and all. I'll have to re-read it sometime with this perspective in mind.
Does fit Heinlein more.

I think that no one has mentioned that ultraortodox jews can get away from service. A hot potato as those that get away from this in many ways are the same nutjobs that wants a 'Greater Israel'.Comment

Maybe. But the society he describes is already like that before the "overwhelming enemy" attacks...Originally posted by Rogan Josh
Are you guys kidding me?
The book 'starship troopers' is not fascist - it is anti-fascist. Heinlein is pointing out how bad a society it is. He is warning about the dangers of nationalistic fascism and how easy it is to fall into when faced with an overwhelming enemy.

It does and does not. People here interpret that film as antifascist and have a clear image, which country the film describes.Admitidly the movie kind of screws that up though....
Maybe, it's because an European made the movie. Does not need to give many hints, to see, what's the topic of the movie.Comment

Or rather, the plauge is the germans and the plauge kills the rats... But, I guess comparing people with a plauge is not much better.Comment

I never understood what was wrong in nationalism, if the nation is the entire human race.
Jeez, you guys are as bad as Ming!
Get over it.

Huh?
Those who get away from service are nati-zionist ultra orthodox.
By describing settlers as ultra orthodox, CNN and the NYT are creating a huge mis-conception.
Right wingers and settlers are national religious. They aren't as zealous and don't wear black.Comment

There is an unwritten agreement - a status quo that religious students don't get called to the army for as long as they are studying torah.
that was agreed upon in the early days of the state- - when there were 250 such people. Now they are several tens of thousands.
There was a law passed recently that exempts religious students from the army iirc. I voted for the party which promised to revoke it.
There is mass public outcry against this.
Btw, no all ultra orthodox don't serve. Some do infact.Comment
