I've always felt that Henlein's Starship Troopers and Joe Haldeman's
Forever 
War should bee the bookend books of your sci-fi military bookshelf. One
at 
each end to know that good ficition embraces it all. The movie of
Starship 
Troopers could best be used as toilet paper, however the filmstock is 
abrasive and tends to chafe one's butt even when used in this fashion.
