I think it could be interesting....the iconography bit would have to be in the future, or perhaps at an earlier age. Soviet imagery is actually not that loaded in current American culture, perhaps in other parts of the world it has more weight. Nazi icons though are renewed constantly by film, games, and other media. Not sure you could find a middle school child that didn't already have a negative association of it.
Starship Troopers the film (not the book) tells a message of youth in early Nazi stages being recruited , and trys to pop it on the audience that they have been cheering Nazis near the end....of course its softened by the fact that the enemy are giant flesh eating bugs.
I could see doing something in that vein...
or something along the lines of the beginning of the iron cross where peckinpah deliberately spins the tables by having Coburn play a Nazi...though even Sam had to have the enemy Russian, to avoid total US audience alienation.
On the other topic:
Teen suicide is a third rail in some ways in media. Though Japan never seems to shy away from it. The Persona series , at least he 3 rd one, is down right disturbing to have kids shoot themselves in the head over and over to gain power.
Better and more examples for teens on how to deal with bullys though I think are always welcome. Every bit of help and guidance is needed in that area.

Heh. I only know about this because of "Hitomi and her Girl Commandos" from the comic Ninja High School. Those characters are a parody of this series. ^^
The painting is nice, but I wish the background had more umph.

well, if you mean 'master of not-having-a-real-adult-life,' then i'm guilty as charged...
as far as i know, there were 3 tv series and a movie or two--what can i say, i have an unnatural interest in crime-fighting japanese schoolgirls...
