I hate to say it but I'd swap out forever war and insert Stainless Steel Rat or maybe Starship troopers

Have to agree on forever war, it carries weight because the author was a Vietnam vet, but Oldman's War was a fantastic

Stainless Steel Rat I did not know of, so I‘ll definitely look into it, thanks! Starship Troopers is great, but the equally great movie makes stuff complicated, and I wanted to keep it simple.
