Compare army spots as had been broadcasted from the mid-90s to 2000, 2001, and compare them to the asthetic introduced and visualised by Leni Riefenstahl. It says so much, sicne the parrallels are so stunning. That the movie Starship Troopers was commercially not too succesful in north America (at least I read that), probably comes from that Verhoeven made heavy mockery of this visual symbolism and heroic transfiguration. for simple minds believing in such pictures and poses, the movie must have equalled a personal attack.
