In this episode I am talking to Acting/Lacking about his obsession with Robert Heinlein's 1956 sci-fi classic Starship Troopers.
He is a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran of 20 years. He started out in the reserves and then was in the infantry for 6 years with a UN tour to Haiti and 2 combat tours in Afghanistan. He spent his remaining years as an aerospace control operator in the Air Force due to a back injury. He is currently retired, married and raising 2 kids on a small homestead on the east coast.
We talk about the idealized version of the military portrayed in Starship Troopers and lessons that could be learned by military leadership today. We discuss training, accountability, the selflessness required to be a combat soldier, the importance of officers having combat experience and the shameful way veterans are treated by the Canadian government.
