I've read Starship Troopers too. Its entertaining, but the book reads like utopia fiction. The ideas sound great, but are impractical (such as the idea that veterans from several different nations and cultures would create a world government).

Also, look at history and you will see various references to the old saying the young have no idea how to value their rights. Even ancient Greek philosophers have said as much. IMO, there are young people who value what they and some who don't, and that will always be the case throughout human history.
