Always amazing when people don't get satire.

My Dad actually thought Starship Troopers was pro-military.

I'd like to know more.

In all seriousness though, I thought it had some aspects of good, which was odd given that it's satirical commentary on fascism. For instance, gender didn't really matter and women were promoted, and while the shower scene was meant to show how fascism castrates the masses (or something like that, iirc), I thought it was a relatively wholesome scene, all things considered.

Potentially some leakage from Heinlein's later works?
