    The book is either the best apology of armed forces or the best satire of armed forces. The line is so thin it’s completely in the eyes of the reader, making it a battlefield of interpretations. Personally, I laughed so hard reading it I can’t believe Heinlein was serious while writing it. Same for Citizen of the Galaxy.

    About the film, it was a conscious choice to make it a satire and it succeeds beautifully.
