Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. Given how dysfunctional our government can be it is sometimes very tempting to yield to the book's political manifesto, like:

 

* you are either a citizen or a civilian.

* you can only hold public office, vote amd the like if you are a citizen

* you can become a citizen only if you have served in the military.

* in an army of 10,000, all 10,000 fight. No armchair generals

* do a crime and you get corporal punishment. Like a public flogging. No matter what your rank is.
