"Starship Troopers" was also the book that advocated service to obtain citizenship, only then could you vote or hold public office. Something to think about. I love Heinlein.

I just finished reading the Kurt Schlicter trilogy (so far - another coming) that started with "People's Republic". He picked up on the military service theme for the part of the country that retained the United States name after a split. It was included in all three of these novels.

Like you, I read Heinlein's books in my youth (a long time ago). I guess that I was so naive that I never picked up on his support for gun rights in them. I was reading for the pure enjoyment as I did Asimov's writings.
