Wasn’t the movie being a satire of the book a conscious choice of verhoeven’s?
The movie was satire, but they bought the naming rights after establishing most of the movie script to avoid an copyright/IP infringement battle.
It was extremely similar, but it’s more accurate to say it was an entirely separate work than not.
Verhoeven meant it as a commentary on the US militarism rather than on heinlein.
