“Read the book “Starship Tropers”. Robert Heinlen predicted much of this years ago. (Don’t watch the movie, it’s a piece of crap!)”

Hmmm, I was thinking they wanted the Halo Master Chief guy.

I’m a Spidey fan...and really enjoyed Stark’s role in his life recently! :-D

Armor is one of my favorite books and Steakly also wrote a book called “Vampires” that was great and made into a horrible film (common theme here). He apparently has written nothing since and I have never been able to figure out why.

About your tagline: I agree with you that 1 marine is good odds against 550 consultants, but did you take into account the ability of consultants and bureaucrats to bury marines in paperwork?

My mother wore liquid body armor all my life. I saw her put it on many a morning.

It’s a quote from Duncan Hunter.

Unlike DU, we do have friendly "diversity" of opinion here at FR!

Just speaking for myself alone...
Even if it wasn't a perfect translation of Heinlen, I liked
the movie version of "Starship Troopers".
It beat out about 95% (or more) of the dreck produced by Hollyweird!

I would love to have one of these even if it wasn't keeping with the theme.
