    It's a fascists idea of a fascist society. Or a weird turbo-libertarian's idea of a cool society that is good, which ultimately is just a fascist society.

    One must approach Heinlein's writing with the knowledge that he is a hugely illiterate reactionary dork making a complete fool of himself for hundreds of pages at a time.

    The book is only interesting because it's embedded in 20th century American society. It is, or was, required reading for us marine corps officers.

      I'm so sorry you were forced to read an extremely mediocre book. They truly do not care about the welfare of our Marines.

        Who is they? We certainly don't care about the welfare of our marines. May they join their comrades in Davy Jones embrace, and soon. rat-salute-2
