I haven’t read this story, and it is ironic that Heinlein’s list makes a point about the characters viewpoint not being the author’s.
I’m In that same point he also goes on to say that fiction is entertainment. It’s also okay to like rapey entertainment I guess is the argument your making. Maybe you’d like the sword of truth books. Or some stephen r donaldson.
Not always. If it was a constant them then yes, but Heinlen was complicated. It’s like saying Stephen king likes to murder people.
It’s okay to think rapey stuff is bad.

Starship troopers is all fascism but Heinlen wasn’t a fascist.
His books were to make you think or explore a topic.
