So many things were wrong with the movie. It was the first book I read which discussed the responsibility of the individual to the state and of the state to the individual. Verhoeven turned that completely on its head.

Then the military tactics.... shudder. He took the Mobile Infantry which typically covered a front line with one man per kilometer and bunched them up so much that a sergeant at Verdun would have told them to spread out a bit. And the space combat was even worse. You have tens of thousands of miles in three dimensions around a planet, but the spaceships were packed in like it was a valet parking lot in New York. When I saw it I said "In space, no one can hear you parallel park."

For some reason, that's way funny.

They could have cleaned up the place with a little DDT.
