More Influence Difficulties

I don't remember the soldiers in Starship Troopers being genetically or otherwise enhanced.  There are other similarities but the way it's written in the article is misleading.  Also, the Imperial troops are similar to the Sardaukar but, at least not in the original novel, Fremen.  And I'm not sure how the Imperial Guard's use of artillery makes a good transition to the Heinlein \ Space Marine parallel.
