Don't you think a non-militarized society would probably have not started a war in the first place? The bugs were minding their own business before humans showed up looking to shoot shit and steal other shit.
I don't remember that part in the movie, sorry.
There are hints throughout. For example:

Weren't these religious settlers? It says so in the voice over...
The voice over puts this on "Mormon Extremist Settlers", yes.
The problems with that is:
The propaganda machinery of the Federation would never take responsibility, it's all about keeping the populace in a constant state of fear, anger and hyperpatriotic, unthinking loyalty. We keep hearing about the "Arachnid exclusion zone" and "quarantined bug space" which implies that the Federation has been trying to restrict the bugs from leaving their space, while the map of the galaxy, showing where earth is and where bug space is located makes it pretty clear that the Federation of Citizens has expanded aaaaaaall the way across the galaxy. Knowing how imperialist settler colonialism works, it's easy to see how the Federation is either
a) sending settlers into bug space to expand their own territory, or
b) engineering conflict with the bugs in order to keep the militarist machinery rolling, or
c) most likely, doing both.
Does anyone know how to bypass the age gate without signing into youtube? I tried proxies but they didn’t work out.
