Actually I thought it was a satire on fascism and militaristic societies because Heinlein's Starship Troopers arguably is fascist and militaristic by today's standards.

It was also propaganda for what Heinlein probably envisioned as the ideal citizen: you get a vote only if you've served in the military.
