Heinlein wrote what amounted to military propaganda. Picture Heinlein as the teacher with the missing arm.
\\n\\n Verhoven Dislikes Militarism and Fascism \\n\\nNot a surprise for someone who grew up in Nazi-occupied Holland. He thought the book was disgusting and wouldn\\u2019t finish reading it - had someone else tell him what happened.
\\n\\n Society at Constant War \\n\\nPropaganda. Othering. Resources all in to the military-industrial complex. Militarism. Fascism.
\\n\\n Insectoid Aliens and Intelligence \\n\\nHive minds. Brain straws. Pheromone communication. Intelligent bugs. Higher-oxygen atmosphere.
\\n\\n Future Tech \\n\\nExo-suits, insterstellar travel, shooting projectiles across the galaxy. Drones? Where are the drones?
\\n\\n Gender Equality \\n\\nExo-suits, from the book, would close the gap for war purposes. Co-ed showers. Norway and Israeli conscripting women.
