Heinlein’s great — still love Starship Troopers! Too bad Hollyweird messed that up as well, worse than Jackson messed up The Hobbit. (He also monkeyed too much with the LotR, but not as bad as The Hobbit.)

I consider the movie of Starship Troopers a completely separate entity.
It’s so far off, it really isn’t it.

I sent a copy of Starship Troopers to my boy in Iraq just after the 2003 invasion. He was an Lt. then. Some time later he told me that just about every Soldier in his Unit read that copy of that book. It was very popular with military folks. He was telling me about Esprit de Corps and such things.

Later, we both learned that it has been used in Military Classes for many years.
