There is a perception here in the US at least that military fiction equates right wing. Because of this many people do not touch a military sf on general principle.
Personally I rarely get bothered by what's in a book, my main criteria are if a book is interesting and if I like (or at least tolerate) the author's writing style.
So for example I like Mr. Ringo's style a lot, so I manged to enjoy the first 3
Ghost books and finish the fourth despite the fact that I dislike thrillers and avoid them.
Or conversely while I enjoy tremendously IM Banks sf books, I never cared about his regular fiction books (muddled through 2 or 3 but not really enjoyed them).
