The book is waaaaaaaaay better than the movie. I liked the idea of powered armor. Especially after hauling around 125 lbs. of gear around Afghanistan especially when we first got there (Hot) except when we could ride via Cling-on battlecruiser (Nissan pick-up or land cruiser). Although by late November I only had to worry about the A-pack and my weapon. But even as a youngster growing up in the early '60s the whole powereed armor, with all the power and a nice air conditioned environment sounded too cool to be true. In fact, Starship Troopers is one of the reasons I went Airborne.
