The book is way too "Wow the military is cool!" for how long the author actually served it seems weird. Movie definitely has better theming, characters of course shine better in the book but the book seems to not think they are fascist. The author protrays it as kinda good or necessary.

Robert Heinlein had a serious respect/love for both the military and the mormon religion. The movie, on the other hand, is a satire of the book. Personally, I prefer the movie

I do too after reading the book. But I do believe after reading that there is so much room for more. A show would be great but I want the real suits. It really gets across the terrorism.

Power armor and terrorism, you say? Could I interest you in Warhammer 40K?
