I would probably have appreciated this more if I hadn't read John Scalzi's Old Man's War first.

Haldeman's book is an examination of his Vietnam War experience, viewed through a scifi lens, and is definitely a book of his time. He's said himself that if he were writing it now it would be extremely different in terms of its aspects of sexuality, and that would be a very good thing.
