My favourite quote on the subject was "Starship Troopers without the
Powered Armour is like Moby Dick without the Whale."

I liked the movie BTW. Just watch it, and forget that it bears
resemblance to the book only in a) The title b) Some of the character
names. 

As regards the philosophy behind the book, please e-mail me, as this
list isn't the place to hold an extended conversaition. The only reason
I mention it is irritation at RAH being labelled a Fascist.
