    Having read some other Heinlein, I don’t think the man was capable of being pro-fascism (see The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land). The book, in only my personal opinion, seemed more like a thought experiment, like most science fiction

      Heinlein experimented with loads of governmental and social structures, Starship Troopers was one such experiment.
