The Book, not the movie.
What are your guys thoughts on Heinlein's style of society and government in his novel, Starship Troopers? In a nutshell, you must be a citizen to vote, the fastest/best/(only?) way to gain citizenship is through Federal service (2 Year Minimum commitment). Practically anyone in someway can serve the Federal Government, they will stick you where they deem fit. Only service members can be elected to Powerful positions, yet active service members cannot vote. There's a lot more to it, I highly recommend that if you haven't, go out and read that book.
I for one agreed on many parts with Heinlein's views. What do you guys think?
