The so-called Movie was an insult to the book, but more on Heinlein's' service...

Over the course of 46 novels and dozens of short stories, Robert Heinlein
was always flanked by what he learned and remembered from his days
as an Annapolis Mid and as a young line officer in the fleet.

Back in the '90s I worked with a man who was a Ukranian and a childhood Holocaust survivor. He came to the US in the '50s or something and earned his US citizenship by service in the US Army. He was a fine, fine gentleman and loved this country, and had an amazing work ethic.

My father came to this country in 1950 after living in a displaced persons camp in Germany after the war. He was from Lithuania and could not go back there. He came here and served in the US Army in the signal corps as he knew how to speak several languages. He served in Germany and listened to the Russians signals. He was awarded US citizenship in 1953 for serving in the armed forces. He was very proud to be a US soldier and a citizen.

The so-called movie's director, Paul Verhoeven was not shy about twisting the republican (small r) philosophy of the book into a satire of fascist regimes. Being Verhoeven, he emphasized graphic violence and blood and guts in more numerous battles than were actually in the book. And of course, the troopers in the movie were completely different from the ones in the book. What a POS film.
