Hm. I don't dislike military fiction because I'm left-wing, I dislike it because I don't enjoy the subject matter. It's not interesting to me to read about how people strategize to kill each other. (Or how they actually go about it, or how they justify it.) I'm much more interested in reading about how people solve problems using other means. Those are just the stories I find more enjoyable. But it's not a black-and-white issue-- there have been books I've liked despite the military setting, because they were really about solving other kinds of problems, or about finding non-military solutions when a military solution might have been the most obvious.
