Instead of 'Starship Trooper' why didn't they call it "$@#&, my SF writer never said!"
So true. The movie was not Starship Troopers. The CGI series Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles was a better portrayal of the book.
I can not remember the name of the book and movie, but I read a western and went to see the movie. The Name of the movie and the names of the male and female lead were the only thing the same as the book.
