Heinlein was one of my favorite authors growing up. Of all of his works, Starship Troopers was (and is) a wonderfully subversive work that I adored. It is too bad they messed it up in the three movies.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

I wish I could have met Robert Heinlein. He was a great author and a good man.
