[edit] And the reason for mentioning Robert Heinlein is?

And the reason for mentioning Robert Heinlein is? -- Geo Swan 02:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Robert Heinlein attended the U.S. Naval Academy, graduated in 1929, and served as an officer in the United States Navy. As a futurist, his success and writing style seems to have influenced this author who graduated later from the US Naval Academy.

Future history works written with Eugene Burdick with have the same theme — accidental nuclear war — with the same plot.

[edit] Was his terminal rank Commander or Captain?

The article is poor as written since it contradicts itself. Either we should accept his memoirs as a source and have him as a Captain, or not and have him as a Commander, and discuss any potential discrepancies here, not in the article itself. Rlquall 14:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
