Or as the book puts it: "There can be circumstances when it's just as foolish to hit an enemy with an H-Bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an ax. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him . . . but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing . . . but controlled and purposeful violence. But it's not your business or mine to decide the purpose of the control. It's never a soldier's business to decide when or where or how--or why--he fights; that belongs to the statesmen and the generals. The statesmen decide why and how much; the generals take it from there and tell us where and when and how. We supply the violence; other people--"older and wiser heads," as they say--supply the control. Which is as it should be"
@@williamhendley3175 Same here, in fact I was listening to the remaster version done by the original artists daughter who helped the original artist on the soundtrack.
Yeah, my thought is that Helldivers must be doing really good, cuz for this now to get a cover out of the blue is good for the SST game as well as Divers 2
*Is a trooper of the Mobile Infantry preparing to fight the bugs.* *Listens to this song.* *Is no longer Mobile Infantry Trooper, but a Helldiver.* "Let's go and torch some bugs boys and girls!"
Epic, the cleanest and most badass version l've heard so far and I love that axe the most too!! Thx Eric, it's always an incredible experience, listening to all your masterpieces and you're second to none!! 🤘🖤
Glad to see you still slaying these covers Eric, hope all has been going well for you these past years. Your skills were impressive in High School, they are even better now!

DAYYYUM! THATS TWICE! @1:20 i got more goosebumps and my scalp turned numb tingling for minutes more this time WOW dude. Them Sweep Runs you do are just freaking Divine! Your Incredible! Wish ya lived near me. Noone round these parts can play like that that i know of. No Dedicated Musicians like yourself to show me how to properly do them kinds of things. AWESOME performance..yet again!
Ah-yes, Starship troopers. The movie you watch as a kid and go "Hell Yeah!!!?!" Then you re-watch as an adult and say, "Oh yeah, now I get it." Awesome cover, and choice of cover.
Starship troopers has been showing up in my feed more thanks to Helldivers and boom! I had a run at this 10 years ago maybe but never posted it, decided to give it another go
Love it, long time fan of both Starship troopers and Helldivers. You should totally give a stab at a cover for a Cup of Liber-Tea if you think its worth it, otherwise good hell diving!
I love this bit of score in the movie. Your rendition made the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up. That's a rare occurrence with me and music.
Citizenship is an attitude, a state of mind, an emotional conviction that the whole is greater than the part... and that the part should be humbly proud to sacrifice itself that the whole may live.
@@331Erock I know, right? I can hear in my ears - Johnny Rico! Man, I lost count of how much times I watched first starship troopers. I was listening to your cover all day, man. Thanks a lot!
This makes me wonder if you've tackled "It's a Good Day to Die" from Starship Troopers 3? The film itself isn't that great, but I always found that song suitably goofy and fitting for the Verhoeven interpretation of the book.
Finally! One of the most inspirational bits of music from one of the best movies ever, has finally been done in my favourite genre of music. I can die happy now.
I was just watching stargate. The part where they throw a knife through the energy shield to disable the alien's hand. Immediately had to think of starship troopers.
"You tryin' to be a hero, trooper?"
"Just trying to shred some riffs, sir!"
You Like That?? You Like That?? You Like That?? You want Little More !?!?
*Shreds violently*
You like that, like that, like that, wanna little more!
*Continues shredding heroically*
Bruhhhh!! Epicness!

Amazing arrangement! What a banger
Never 😂😂 reasoning
RIP Basil. Gave us the Starship Troopers and Robocop soundtracks!
Don't forget the Conan Soundtrack 😉
And The Hunt for Red October!
Basil Poledouris made some absolute bangers.
Robocop is my all time for him! Followed super closely behind by this and Conan
Heck yeah, Basil was the man
This, Robocop, the Arnie Conan movies... yeah he was a maestro for sure

Now I need to rewatch Starship Troopers!
One of my favorite movies of all time. The guy who directed this masterpiece also did the original RoboCop
And showgirls 😂😂
And Total Recall! 🤘🏻
"the only good bug is a dead bug!"
That moment when a Raid on twitch is also the cans assemblin to make planet fall on Helldivers 2 to do some spraying.
"Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that can think offensive."
*Is a trooper of the Mobile Infantry preparing to fight the bugs.*
*Listens to this song.*
*Is no longer Mobile Infantry Trooper, but a Helldiver.*

So glad you finally did this one. So awesome.
