** Fun trivia: Colonel Warden developed a battle doctrine known as "Warden's Five Rings". Each ring represents a layer of a country's military capability (Leadership, Organic/System Essentials, Infrastructure, Population, and finally the Fielded Military Forces). In an all-out war, Warden's doctrine dictated that you identify and strike as many of the five rings as you effectively can simultaneously, ideally dismantling an enemy's war machine in one blow.

'''''Starship Troopers: Invasion''''' is a 2012 [[AllCGICartoon CGI film]] directed by Shinji Aramaki that takes elements from [[Literature/StarshipTroopers the book]], [[Film/StarshipTroopers the movie]], and [[WesternAnimation/RoughnecksStarshipTroopersChronicles the TV series]] and works them into a new story. John Rico sends Carmen Ibáñez and the troopers of K-12 and A-01 squads to track down the ''John A. Warden'', Carmen's old ship, which has gone dark after being commandeered by Carl Jenkins.

* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Averted. Despite the tone of [[Film/StarshipTroopers3Marauder the previous movie]], ''Invasion'' never treats religion negatively. There is only one guy in the squad (Holy Man) who actually believes, almost to excess in fact, but the other characters do little more than poke mild fun at him for it (because he's tattooed up the wazoo). At a base level, his faith is treated fairly, and it even gets a call back as a touching moment later.
