Gung ho military enthusiasts taken with TV shit like night sight goggles, smart bombs and robot tanks who don't realize that when they get into the real thing they don't even get enough armor to cover their ass from a 12 year old with a grenade.

An excellent futuristic war novel by Robert Heinlein, part philosophical treatise, part sci-fi military action.

Eventually made into an abortion of a movie by that fucking hack Paul Verhoeven, who admitted after making the movie that he tried reading the book but stopped after a few pages because it was depressing.

for those who actually dont know what it is, its a military novel/movie. i never read the novel but the movie was about a group of soldiers fighting crazy aliens from another planet.
