    That’s a pretty narrow slice. Did he see Starship Troopers and think the line about serving to be able to have babies was a good idea? You were supposed to be paying attention to the boobs in the shower scene not the politics you twat.

      I think you misread the (admittedly awful) title. Congress has a lot of control over veteran health benefits… this shitheel wants to prevent same-sex veteran couples from having access to IVF while retaining access to hetero veteran couples.

      The bill in question wouldn’t restrict anyone getting insurance without going through Tricare and the VHA/VA. Though I’m sure that’s eventually this fuck’s goal.

      He was probably paying attention to dicks in the shower scene

          It was a mixed gender shower.

          They may have been artfully concealed, but yes. Everyone there was neked.

          Not that there’s anything wrong with checking out the dicks. There might be something wrong with being a raging homophobe, though, and still checking out said dicks. It that sounds like a personal problem

      You were actually supposed to pay attention to the politics too.

      Whether you consider them dystopian or aspirational depends on whether you agree with Paul Verhoeven who directed the movie or Robert Heinlein who wrote the book, though 🤷

      My understanding of Starship Troopers: The Movie is you’re supposed to be paying attention to the politics and chuckling “What a bunch of complete dumb fucks” to yourself. Not so much the book it’s based on though.

        I remember a few years ago my Dad finally watched Starship Troopers and he said “Why do they use bullets? wouldn’t lasers be better? they have those why are they using bullets?” and also “why are the starships so close to each other if they know the bugs can hit them out of orbit?”

        that’s the point of the movie Dad. they’re a bunch of damn idiots fighting bugs. you think a bug could pinpoint shoot an asteroid all the way to Argentina?
