Your opinion on good military fiction

[Anonymous No.16258472]

We've all seen books in the grocery store and pharmacy with tacticool operators posing under titles that sound like Operation: FOXTROT ALPHA GOLF, but is there any really quality modern military fiction? I know Tom Clancy comes to mind, I've never read him, but is it just page turning garbage? Would really like some help with this, hit me with your opinions.

Odd angry shot is good until the amphetamines wear off.

I'm yet to find one. I suppose it is so because militarymen are generally stupid and writers have no idea how war works.

Tom Clancy is fun trash (at least his marquee novels like The Hunt for Red October or Without Remorse or Rainbow Six or Patriot Games) that slowly became techno-thrillers as he got older. Larry Bond does those too except on a much larger scale, like a third korean war during the cold war. I like more literary stuff like Matterhorn or The Naked and the Dead, but Clancy's Jack Ryan novels and Mr. Clark ones are great dadcore.
