Tell him the director grew up in Nazi occupied Netherlands and that he has directly stated that everything in the movie is a parody meant to show that the humans are fascist bad guys, like I'm pretty sure it's on the DVD commentary
I had a similar opportunity to argue that with a biological family member, with cited sources, and he retreated to "WELL HEINLEIN SAID..." and swore up and down that Heinlein wasn't a nazi (just #1 with nazis apparently). He had no real citable differences between what he believed and what nazis wanted except maybe manners and @Civility@hexbear.net
Starship troopers is a prime example of why the book is not always better than the film.
Find a clip of that interview and play it for the guy.
