Sadly, for some that particular meme has become totally entrenched. Easier to recite it then it is to read the book and think about the subject matter.

Yet another complete moron weighing in on Starship Troopers. Mr. Itzkoff doesn't have the first foggiest idea about what the Socio-Economic system RAH proposed actually meant. In <i>Starship Troopers"</i> the only way you could be a member of the voting class was by serving (shades of Chickehawks). The entire thing was first and foremost a response to a John Campbell "If this goes on..." scenario. If the general population cares so little for the future of the society that they must be _forced_ to serve what does that mean? If they don't care why shouldn't they give the reigns of poeer over to the military? Today we have the best troops ever...smart and motivated...what should ther reward be for a populace that doesn't care? Holy Jumping Jazuzz.
