You know we have come a long way from Viet Nam and WWII comic books, which tells me these men and women are the best and brightest, no matter what the eastern elite nabobs think.

If you liked "Starship Troopers", try John Ringo's "A Hymn Before Battle", "Gust Front", "When the Devil Dances", and "Hell's Faire". And as a bonus, when you buy either of the latter two (which as still hard-cover-only at the moment), you get a CD-ROM with ALL of Ringo's stuff on it, plus a big chunk of the Baen Free Library, including a big chunk of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" Space naval series.
Oh, and you have rights to copy and give out as many copies of the CDs as you want: you can read the books from a computer with a browser, a PDF reader, various Palm and Windows CE formats. I've sent 10 or so of all 4 volumes of CDs from Baen to various USOs and ships. . .
