Heinlein in 6 minutes,

I consider what we have now in the USA to be FAR more Fascist than Starship Troopers.

Are you sure you'd say "far more"?

It sounds like the humans inadvertently "invaded" the "bug planet" (an obvious metaphor for "foreign savage land") and then the "savages" responded by sending projectiles at planet earth.

Then the "humans" pretended to be "surprised" when the "savages" aren't keen on "peace talks".
