Line 10:
Long after the novel was published, Heinlein claimed in "Expanded Universe" (1980) that ''Starship Troopers'' "stated flatly and more than once" that 95% of the people who become citizens do so by serving their two years in the Federal civil Service, not in the military. However, a famous [http://www.nitrosyncretic.com/rah/srah-archives-commentary.html essay by James Gifford] argues that the text of ''Starship Troopers'' does not support either this assertion, or the idea of non-military service generally.
A [[Starship Troopers (film)|film of the novel]] was made in 1997, although it's a very loose adaptation that departs significantly from the novel in several places. Most notably, the Mobile Infantry of the film does not wear power armor and instead fights more like modern-day infantry.
