You realize the movie was satire of conservativism, right? And it's damned incredible.
Any earnest reading of the politics of Starship Troopers is...definitely problematic.

It was never portrayed that way in the build up to the movie release. Clancy Brown famously said "Heinlein would love the movie!" No way he'd love a satirical portrayal of this story.
Problematic can mean anything - be specific.

He was repeatedly quoted as saying that he wasn't advocating for the ideas presented in his books, so I dont know if he would have cared.
