I've read, re-read, and read that book again. In fact, my first copy was so beat up I bought a new one and made the old one my platoon's copy to be read by new privates. Excellent book.

I've read nearly all of Heinlein's work, but this book stands out above all. He was an amazing writer, and patriot.

BTW - Humblegunner has "This I believe" on his profile.

Thanks to both of you for the recommend. It's one of those crazy things. I like sci-fi and have always meant to read the book but have never gotten around to it somehow. I think I must make time now though after hearing so many good things about it and hearing it referenced so often ;-)
