In the defense of many, when 'Starship Troopers' was released in theatres, the promos / trailers for it, ALL promoted it as a straight-up aci-fi action flick, "the next Star Wars".

I would be astounded if anyone went to see it knowing it was meant to be satire, with the marketing job the studio did.

Literally though. Heinlein was the great satirist of American 20th century literature.

"I know it's satire, and it slaps".
