Even on Starship Troopers I sometimes felt like are these guys going to actually start doing ****?

The issue was that the plot drifted into lame, ridiculous new age nonsense. I'm not political enough to be turned away by an otherwise good book just because I disagree with the politics or it is dated in that regard. This was just an additional thing that bothered me and not even that much.
