Poli Sci Fi
I'm not a major fan of science fiction, but, I have read some and liked it. Orson Scott card for example is an excellent writer(and understands Military life). His Novel Enders Game(I can't wait on the movie) is a good lesson for Manuevere Warfare and problem solving. Starship Troopers is as well(unfortunatly I haven't read it or seen the movie, though I did thumb it at Clothing Sales this last drill).
Sometimes there are lessons to be learned from such things. This Article is food for thought, but, I don't think Lucas realised it when he made his movie. I voted for President Bush, I don't like, trust or respect Democrats and it was a tight race. Besides, he is more willing to make a decision. I would much rather serve under him than the other. It's hard to argue with such anologies, and, espeacily this one.
It reminds me of some of the things I've read on different blogs latley,the little time I've had. I beleive, sometimes we have a problem seeing things for what they realy are.
Later folks...I'm about to run late.

Them crazy Brits - I liked that, "We prefer our officers not to run. It can discourage the troops."
The model of understatement. :-)
They are something to behold.
The movie version of "Starship Troopers" was not nearly as good as the book. It missed a whole lot of the points about service, society, responsibility, etc. It was just a sci-fi flick that happened to have people fighting 'bugs'.
