Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein was one of my favorite books to read when I was young. Not only was the premise of guys in flying armored suits cool but also the delivery. Heinlein was great at describing things like radio chatter and the burden of military command in a way that made the entire read feel tangible and engaging. This is how I always imagined the MI from book. This particular soldier is barbecuing a giant arachnid with the much described hand flamer from the novel.
