How ‘Starship Troopers’ convinced Jim Mattis to make Marine infantry training more realistic. Mattis isn’t talking about the movie here—he’s talking about the novel by Robert A. Heinlein, which included simulated battles for soldiers in training.
Max Hauptman at Task & Purpose:
“Reading [Starship Troopers] is one of [the] reasons I put together simulators for infantry with Hollywood being a big help, I might add. Oftentimes an infantryman’s first ethical or tactical decision against a thinking enemy is made in his first firefight,” Mattis told New York University Law School adjunct professor Max Raskin in an interview published earlier this week. “You wouldn’t buy a 747 or an Apache attack helicopter without buying the simulators for the pilots, and yet we didn’t have high-quality simulators for infantry.”
Mattis noted that going back to World War II, most casualties are among infantry troops with the least amount of combat experience.
“If you can get them through their first five firefights alive, their chances of surviving go up significantly,” said Mattis, adding that, “I always thought if I could do 25 firefights for them in various simulated circumstances that challenge them ethically and tactically before they ever heard the first shot fired, they would be more apt to make better decisions and survive.”

Here's the first few paragraphs from the new and improved What Makes a Family 🥲
“We gather here today to remember the life and legacy of Jeremiah “Jimmy” David Stone, beloved son, partner, and father.”
The words rang hollow in Rose’s ears, like they were being spoken from very far away. She barely felt like she was even present, as though this entire day was happening to someone else. The small body she held in her lap shifted, his big blue eyes blinking owlishly as her three-year-old son Matthew fixed his gaze on her.
“Tha’s Daddy,” he said in that whispering way of toddlers that really wasn’t a whisper at all.
“That’s right,” she murmured, smoothing his cornsilk blond hair away from his face. “Hush now. Can you sit nice and quiet for Mummy?”
“Uh huh,” Matthew said, slumping back into her belly.
The priest at the front of the church shot her a sympathetic glance, his pale gaze flitting between Matthew and David, Rose’s eight-year-old son. If anyone in the church was annoyed by Matthew’s interruptions, they didn’t show it—nobody would dare chastise a child who’d just lost his father.
Rose reached over and wrapped her hand around David’s. Her son gave no reaction that he felt her touch, sitting as still and silently as he’d been doing these last four days. She was so useless, unable to offer anything other than hugs and kisses and words of affirmations to her children, and she raged against the world for forcing this tragedy into their young little lives.
“I’m hungry,” Matthew stated, drawing muffled chuckles from those sitting around them.
Rose had prepared for this. Matthew’s stomach was as unpredictable as a summer storm, and she made sure to always have snacks on hand for him. She reached into her purse and rooted around until she felt the cool plastic bag that housed dry cereal.
“Thank you!” Matthew chirped when she handed it to him.
“Shh, baby boy. We have to be quiet.”
“Indoor voice,” he said, and to his credit, he actually whispered that time.
Rose pressed a kiss to his fair hair and tried to tune in to the priest and ignore the nagging urge to get up and leave. Why should she be allowed to sit here and mourn a person she didn’t actually miss?
What a cheerful little scene, eh 🥲
