Saw you liked Ender’s Game, another great book. But yes, I do think the thinking of Heinlen in Starship Troopers is spot on. Will we ever get there?, Who knows. Dont know if you read the book; if not check it out, you’d probably like it.
Yeah, I've read all of Heinlein's stuff, even when get got to be not much more than a dirty old man. :-)
I seriously doubt the moochers will ever be willing to admit that they aren't worth the franchise.
