I have read several modern Military SF that have been hyped like Old Man's War. I couldnt finish that book. Im not interested in military life and action in the future and space without the social commentary....
I totally agree, which is why I found FW so refreshing and engaging. The military stuff is still there, but it is there mainly to wrap its social commentary around. It also so features some great characters.
