I have your exact dichotomy.

Still -

Ironic image of course because in the world of Starship Troopers only educated people are allowed to vote.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant to say. But I just want to point out that the requirement for voting is citizenship, not education, and the criteria for citizenship is public service (as in: joining the armed forces). Rico's parents for example are educated but not citizens.

Fun fact: Service means citizenship. It's not just limited to military, it's any federal service.

The films and book just focused on the military side.
