Extremely sexist and bigoted. Use of allegory covers up disturbing issues with the content. Implied rape. Heavy sexism and homophobia on the part of the author.

Haldeman makes you feel really small, but offers a glimmer of hope for those who return from war. 

That glimmer, however, only includes being understood by those who have experienced the same loss as you.
