[off topic?]

The book ‘Starship Troopers’ is a lot different from the movie.

In the book the Bugs have space ships and other tech, so it’s obvious that their leadership in intelligent. The question is whether the soldiers in the field are thinking for themselves or just genetically programmed to fight.

The narrator opines that if the Bug can kill you, that makes it smarter than you.
