I joined a book club right around the time Helldivers 2 came out. I knew it was sort of a parody of Starship Troopers, the movie, which itself was a parody of Starship Troopers, the book. Would it shock you to learn that one of the first things the protagonist does in the book is commit a series of war crimes, which the author does not acknowledge at all?

If you're curious about specifics, the book starts with him in his hyper-futuristic military gorilla suit, where he deliberately destroys civilian infrastructure (using a shoulder mounted mini-nuke, no less) of the "skinnies", a somewhat friendly race, and goes on to use a flamethrower on a room full of civilians after accidentally dropping in on them. This was all done for the purpose that humans could "do this and worse, if we wanted" while in diplomatic talks with them. Again, this isn't even against the arachnids.

To defend Robert Heinlein, the whole point is that it's an analysis of the utopia envisioned by fascists, not satire. The author doesn't acknowledge the atrocities because the whole book is from the perspective of a character who's fully bought into the fascist ideology. But the book is also filled with fucked up shit that's internal to their society and you're supposed to notice how little concern they have for it - how desensitized they are to the deaths of their own friends and family, how militarism is so ingrained in their society that they deal with personal strife by giving up their identities to the military even when that strife was caused by pointless war. It's a pointed critique of fascism that meets fascists on their home turf. Of course, when such a staggering number of people are incapable of understanding the narrative when adapted as satire and turned up to eleven as a film, it's no surprise that so many people thought he was praising fascism. His other writings make it abundantly clear than he wasn't any sort of fascist.
