The authors themselves didn't get Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
His story is told through the lens of one who has accepted the propaganda. The first few pages describe what is actually going on, then we go to the perspective of the teenager who is considering signing up.
As such, the movie is closer to the book than most acknowledge, despite the loss of all the mechsuits.
I always have a hard time with opinion articles about how everyone else's opinion is wrong???? Not all the breakdowns were opinion in this article. Like the one on The Shinning using references to King's take on the movie, that is a decent write up but most the others are just the author's opinion of the movie.
