Starship Troopers wasn't Asimov; it was Heinlein.
I'll be frank: Try as I might, I've never liked Heinlein's work. I read ST and saw the film and didn't like either version (although the film tracked the book fairly well so far as I remembered the book - it had been quite a number of years between reading and seeing).
TROOPERS was a straightforward war story. Written as it was in the late 50's with the Korean War still fresh in people's memory (and WWII as well for that matter), it was pretty much a thinly-veiled allegory of both/either war dressed in sci-fi trappings.
