Plot
After the events of Invasion, Johnny Rico has been demoted to the rank of colonel and relocated to a space station orbiting Mars to train a new batch of troopers. Unfortunately, his squad is incompetent. Mars has low support for the war, seeing their planet unaffected by the bug conflict and even suggesting pulling out from the war. Because of their laid-back attitude, the denizens of Mars are unprepared for a full-scale bug invasion.
Unknown to everyone, Sky Marshal Amy Snapp plans to destroy Mars while gaining popular support for doing it, having been aware of a bug nest growing under Mars for some time but deciding to take advantage of the bug attack to gain social and political support to scuttle the whole planet.
