Starship trooper-like scene
(Scenes from Hell) ridiculously cheesy/edited UNSC marine propaganda shows on a TV. Later, it turns to live footage from a news reporter embeded with some marines.
"The very presense of the alien scum has scard harvest in some areas, but nevertheless, the victorious and powerful warriors of the human race push forward bravely to take back the planet!" while the repoter is talking about how brave the marines are and how they are killing covies by the thousands, marines in the background are running and screaming "RETREAT! RUN THE @#%#$ AWAY!!!". A hunter rounds the corner and swings his sheild, cutting 3 marines in half, hunter attacks reporter, impales him on one of his spikes, and camera goes dead.

Yes, Starship Troopers this should not be. They did a really good way of making a connection to what would be going on at home; and with the advent of current "no-restrained" news, I could see this being real-time, all the time. However, to avoid those lines being drawn in parallel with Troopers, this should be avoided.
