Something to keep in mind as you read: Starship Troopers can be read on many different levels. It can be read as a straight YA SF book, an old man positing how to order society, and as a self-mocking take on the difference between real world military life and fiction of same. (Pay attention to what Rico is reading in the last half of the book.)
