Hear, hear! (Pet Peeve, SciFi is trashy television/movies, SF is good
literature) Dirtside comes closer to the type of thing shown in the
Bolo novels, Drake's Hammer's Slammers, Pournelle's (too numerous to
list), Starship Troopers (the book), and other good stuff than either
modern or crappy movies.
