Yeah, I did too. Problem you have is, hehehe, you've read Haldeman and Scalzi and Starship Troopers and when you're read Armor, you'll pretty much have read the very best military sci/fi has to offer. The top of the heap so to speak.
If you're interested in a little different take, a couple of Cherryh's excellent books are military sci/fi related though I'd call them more merchanter sci/fi. "Rimrunners" is about a marine on one of the carriers being left behind at a station and having to make her way in a space station/merchanter ship environment when all she's ever experienced is the way of life on board military ships. -- The Pride of Chanur is quite different, the human is the alien, the main characters aren't human and they're merchants and they wind up rescuing this human armscomper from some other alien species that captured a human exploration vessel. "Pride" is a brilliant book of the Haldeman and Scalzi class, but not exactly military sci/fi "centered". --- She also wrote a two part series of "Heavy Time" and "Hellburner", the 2nd of which is definitely military sci-fi. The first part of the duology "Heavy Time" it's own story, more merchanter/asteroid mining related, and 4 of the 5 same characters. I would read them together if you are interested in "Hellburner". "Devil To The Belt" is the name of the published duology. Also Tier 1. Heavy Time is a great book but Hellburner is the rare example of a sequel being better than the original.
