They're doing full Space Nazi, huh? I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.
Right wingers are really the undefeated champs at not understanding satire.

If they're going Starship Troopers, they need to drop gendered changing rooms and bathrooms first.
the movie was satire. the book...not so much.
Hegseth didn't read a book, come on now.
I found the themes of the book putting a light on a fascist society and the individuals in it.
Did you read the book as pro-fascist or glorifying fascism?
pro-fascist.
my father was a big fan. he was always proud of his "German heritage", if that says anything. growing up he attempted to instill in me the principles in the books. of course I was too smart for that and always questioned authority.
the benefit being I was inoculated against fascism at a young age.
I read them as absurd depictions, similar to Lolita where the purpose is to show the reader a perspective far away from healthy, normal or sane.
I read up on Heinlein on wikipedia after my previous comment, and he seemed sincere which is scary. Im looking at it from a scandinavian perspective which is quite far from militarism, and thats probably why I read sarcasm in the text rather than honest philosophy
wait wait wait. send them to a base on the dark side of the moon
I've seen how this one ends. It isn't good.
