Is there some kind of point about dehumanization of humanity and generational cultural shift that probably flew over my head?
Stopped reading at the green teddy bears because I need to process bootcamp erotica I've just read before that point.

More military sci-fi recs please, almost finished this and loving it. Not Starship Troopers. Preferably late 70s/80s, I like the style. The more violent the better.

Was written by a Vietnam veteran about a soldier getting lost in the military-industrial system, plus time dilation. Amazing book.

Goddamn it, should have read this first.

A friend recommended this to me because I liked Starship Troopers. So far it's complete and utter bullshit. I'm expected to believe that they would spend millions of dollars per person training and equipping a team of fucking geniuses, but also NOT train them how to fucking walk in their suits because HURR ITS NOT SAFE WHERE YOU'RE GOING and then kill them for reals as part of training for no reason? It's fucking RETARDED. Don't even get me fucking started on the sex. Does it get better? Because so far it's been an endless stream of "that would never happen" and "that's fucking retarded".

This future is fucking gay.

im so scared about the film adaptation.its ridley scott, and even though blade runner ended up being a good movie it still butchered androids dream of electric sheep's meaning and plot.

or this could just be a haldeman general, what ev.
