@RustyCrab I think the bizarre take that "the bugs are good" or "the troopers are bad" that freaks make, doesn't even follow from the movie. The guy who made it was trying to poke fun at the book, but most of it is mainly targeting the idea of military guys being in charge.
He seems to mainly paint them as stupid stereotypical "jarheads" rather than evil or "the bad guys". So the movie mainly has them doing stuff that is incredibly dumb like having all their ships in the same spot getting destroyed or all going down to the surface to fight the bugs blind without collecting information about their actual strengths and weaknesses.
So I see it more as an attempt to paint "military=low iq" and "they should instead listen to the enlightened philosophers, politicians, bureaucrats, and artists like me!" It falls flat for anyone who doesn't subscribe to the same biases (about military people being inherently stupid) as the movie maker because you won't ascribe the dumb decisions to being the inherent result of the whole system unless you believe the same already.
