Not a good meme I know but just finished Starship Troopers for the millionth time. My father died 20+ years ago... The one thing I really want!

I read the book in my early teens and came away thinking "what a pack of idiots". Then the movie came along and I felt like I understood the book.

I'm sure I'm wrong.

As someone who liked the book more than the movie, your first impulse was correct but the movie should just be considered its own thing.

Fair enough, chalk it up to me being a bigger fan of Neumeier than I am of Heinlein
