This episode I:

1. Call for listener opinions on The Forever War as well as the topic of my next episode Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers
2. Summarize The Forever War
3. Kick around my impressions and some of the views presented in Joe Haldeman's anti-war transplantation of Vietnam to the vastness of interstellar space
4. Ask for feedback and plug Two Girls and a Podcast again
