I read the book some time afterward I completed it in a single day - that's how immersed I was in Heinlein's insanely in-depth futuristic universe. I saw Verhoeven's 1997 film adaptation first, and to this day I still absolutely love that movie.
Regardless of what you think of Heinlein's points in the book, it's first-rate sci-fi entertainment and pro-war military propaganda of the first degree.
It was adapted into Paul Verhoeven's wildly prescient 1997 feature-length movie (which appeared to be more of a pro-/anti-war satire of Heinlein's novel), and more importantly (to me, anyway) the cast members of James Cameron's "Aliens" (1986) - my #5 movie, by the way - were required to read the book as part of their "basic training" for the film. Heinlein intended to put forth in his controversial landmark 1959 military science fiction novel "Starship Troopers." I do know that it's been hugely influential in science fiction literature and film ever since its publication 53 years ago. I don't pretend to know everything that late sci-fi writer Robert A. But the fact is: I'm scared silly, every time" - Juan "Johnnie" Rico, first lines, Robert A. The ship's psychiatrist has checked my brain waves and asked me silly questions while I was asleep and he tells me that it isn't fear, it isn't anything important - it's just like the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate.I couldn't say about that I've never been a race horse. I've had the injections, of course, and hypnotic preparation, and it stands to reason that I can't really be afraid.
