Star Ship Troopers always was a fun movie with some great lines. With that in mind... which type of leader would you like to work for?

Come on you apes, do you want to live forever?

Service guarantees Citizenship. Do you want to know more? Probably not the ship's Skippers who see the incoming and don't immediately change course. Or the Admiral that ordered the tight formation. Or the piece of earth that refused to deploy stand off weapons. The Brain Bugs didn't have much for options in their bags either. Just use the "Little Doctor" from Ender's Game.

Book was better than the movie, I have both.
I believe in the service guarantees citizenship theme. Most of our problems with civilian leaders comes from those who would not put others (group) ahead of themselves in any conflict.
