High school in Star Ship troopers

Nope, it isn’t.

We are talking ideal high school settings

It’s a merging of subjects but the heart of the topic is a universal question so it belongs on here

The whole film was satirizing the slow acceptance of fascism by the main characters. The high school was their introduction to the facist rhetoric. It's funny that most critics at the time didnt catch on. On a side note...that movie has aged extremely well.

the first like 10 minutes of the movie is in high school. The rest of the movie, not so much.

The contrast of the high school dance the night before and they reality that they're headed into a meat grinder the next morning was pretty thought provoking.

I’ve been told the book is much more philosophical and intellectual than the movie with its debates in citizenship and military service.

While the movie is satirical, the book is deadly serious about its more.... unique ideologies. Most memorable part of the book is there is a very very very hardline that public whippings were a necessary part of society.

Also, the mobile infantry in the book.... were mobile infantry. They wore suits that gave them super human abilities. They threw nuke grenades and could jump miles at a time.
