The book was written because Heinlein was angry that America would sign an arms treaty with the Soviet Union; much of it is on learning how to accept war as a necessary evil and do it right. The film came after a generation gap and [[TheGreatPoliticsMessUp the end of]] the ColdWar; the director and screenwriter were quite deliberately defying what they saw as the spirit of the work. Between the limitations of film and the screenwriter being the same guy who wrote \'\'Film/Showgirls\'\' and \'\'Film/Sliver,\'\' it was a shallow attack.
