Comment on ICE Supreme Commander spotted in Minneapolis

I’ve read a few of his works and it is strongly bent toward the every man trope if I remember right. Of how an individual needs to be skilled in most areas, self actualizing, independent. Reads like a conservative libertarian view to me honestly. Add in Starship Troopers itself really plays that strong and talks about military might makes right, it’s hard not to see it as positive toward warfare.
I recently binged a lot of Heinlein, and it turned me off him a bit. The novel Friday seemed to be the tipping point.
Very aggressive, self-assured attitude shone through.
I also binged a shotlosd of PK Dick fiction, and mostly just got super sad again.
