What's funny is that in the book, the military is even more segregated by gender than our current military is. The mobile infantry is entirely male, while women tend to be naval officers. The explanation had something to do with women being better able to handle space flight. But the book was written in the 1950s so the science Heinlein used might be outdated.
I'll bet the book was ok. Every movie gets the current generation's culture injected into it. I'm sure if they made it today, we would have Tranny-ship troopers and everyone would be making the case for why "the bugs" should win as 41% of our team blows their own heads off.
Yep and Heinlein depicted women in the book as generally superior in the mathematics department (IMO a departure from real life but RAH liked to be edgy) so they ended up in naval command positions more frequently.

God damn that was savage, lmao.
Humans were the villains in the actual movie.
LMAO. Of course they were!
