Not if you read the books. In fact, the movie was slightly different because the troopers wore powered suits that would let them jump miles at a time, had mini-nukes and other stuff that were never in the movie.

Also, if you remember from the movie...they glassed the planet, though they used fighters or bombers to do that, most likely.

Sorry...geeking here...
