I agree completely. I enjoyed the book, but I don't think a theatrical 
version would be anything spectacular. Try "Full Metal Jacket" for
something 
closer to  "ST": that seems to weigh in more on the inner-workings of
the 
boot camp mind. As for Heinlein's half-baked philosophy, that is
powerful 
enough to hold a good movie together. As Sony reps said after a preview
of 
it several months ago: add more bugs!
