Dang I hate that movie. And that scene is a great example why.
Of course, in the book, Zim has this cool disscussion of the role of Mechanized Infantry in a Universe where theatre level weapon exist. The basic reason (according to Zim) is that war does not equal genocide- often you do not want to kill everybody on a planet or crumble all of their infrastructure. Thats while they have the MI, to be able to go in and surgically inflict some mayhem so that the mission can be accomplished with minimal damage.
And that (undescribable) Verhooven turned it into just another example of Zim being a sadist. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
