A:The film rights to the novel were licensed in the 1990s, several years after Heinlein's death. The project was originally entitled "Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine", and had been in production before the producers bought the rights to "Starship Troopers". The film was directed by Paul Verhoeven (who found the book too boring to finish), and released in 1997. The screenplay, by Ed Neumeier, shared character names and some plot details with the novel. The film contained several elements that differed from the book, including a military that is completely integrated with respect to sex. It had the stated intention of treating its material in an ironic or sarcastic manner, to undermine the political ideology of the novel. While the novel featured mechanized suits in many scenes, these were never shown or hinted at in the movie, because the budget would not allow for such expense. B:Given that the novel was written decades before the script was ultimately filmed, could a fan point to the irony of the more modern telling displaying considerably less high-tech gear available to the infantry? Answer: foods
A:Within three months of sending troops to Yemen in 1962, Nasser realized that the engagement would require a larger commitment than anticipated. By early 1963, he would begin a four-year campaign to extricate Egyptian forces from Yemen, using an unsuccessful face-saving mechanism, only to find himself committing more troops. A little less than 5,000 troops were sent in October 1962. Two months later, Egypt had 15,000 regular troops deployed. By late 1963, the number was increased to 36,000; and in late 1964, the number rose to 50,000 Egyptian troops in Yemen. Late 1965 represented the high-water mark of Egyptian troop commitment in Yemen at 55,000 troops, which were broken into 13 infantry regiments of one artillery division, one tank division from the Egyptian Armoured Corps and several Special Forces as well as airborne regiments. All the Egyptian field commanders complained of a total lack of topographical maps causing a real problem in the first months of the war. B:It's often said that great generals study logistics, but was the problem that Egypt faced at the start of the war an issue of education and training, rather than the ability to get the right equipment into the hands of soldiers who were already in the field? Answer: effort

B:Assuming that the terrain itself had not changed significantly, could the discovery of a cache of maps used by British and/or German troops in World War II have been of help to the Egyptian commanders at the onset of this war?

B:If the Red Army had produced accurate topographical maps of North Africa, could Egypt's Cold-War ally of the Soviet Union have helped by donating said maps to the field commanders? Answer: effort
