It was loaded with social and political commentary, portrayed all that is good with the military perfectly, and is purposefully a reflection of the Cold War era in which it was written.

For all that stuff "Dr. Strangelove" is the film to watch.

My idea of good sci-fi is for entertainment, and Starship Troopers goes much better with popcorn.

Come on, get out of the 1940s. :)

Sci-fi has been doing deep literary themes for at leat 50 years.
