Interesting reading of the meteor incident, had not considered in that light. Do we know how Heinlein treats the episode, if at all?

- MarkMarine 4y agoI haven’t read the book actually. I grabbed this from the plot summary: “ The "Bug War" has changed from minor incidents to a full-scale war during Rico's training. An Arachnid attack that annihilates the city of Buenos Aires alerts civilians to the situation; Rico's mother is killed in the attack.” I’ll read it but right now I remain suspicious

So I wouldn't assume that the movie strictly adheres to the events laid out in the book.
