Stop thinking about Nazis, start thinking about VIETNAM. I see so much discourse on this, and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT VIETNAM WAR.
Neumeier is a gen-x who grew up on the disillusionment of the Vietnam War and cynicism about getting bogged down in foreign wars. Get into the context of the late 90s and a guy who grew up in the 70s. The conflict shown is a mixture of Korean War, Vietnam War, and a bit of a Pearl Harbor from WW2.
Bugs = Asian communists
War = Vietnam-Korean war hybrid
>humans are technologically superior
>but the bugs (asian communists) are superior in number
>they don't mind major losses
>do not value individuality
>bugs hide in holes underground, and large bombing campaigns are ineffective on them
>bugs use ambush tactics
>their ships are easy to take out of the skies and have heavy losses (Americans had huge air losses in Vietnam)
>BUG WAVE TACTICS
>small caste of bug hierarchy that gives out orders to the drones
