As I watched the first movie (the only one I saw), I wondered about how faithful the movie was to the book. I remember how Heinlein was outspoken about "women and children first" being the prime directive of every culture, all else being quickly dumped in a time of emergency. He was critical of "idealists" and said any culture that doesn't protect the women and children is playing with extinction. When I watched the movie and saw women being in the military and being placed on the front lines I couldn't help but think that there's no way that was in the book.
