The movie is a pale impostor compared to the book. The director completely missed the philosophical point of a society that requires a level of dedication and service to become a citizen. In the book, the government isn't totalitarian militarism, it's a free society with a requirement of service in exchange for the rights of citizenship. Punishment is harsh by our standards, but short and painful, in order to teach. The director completely messed up the society Heinlein envisioned.
