Armor by John Steakley.

Wrapped in a somewhat dystopian future, it covers distrust of a command structure that is disconnected and inattentive. It also gives a pretty good experiential narrative of a troop with PTSD operating in a dissociated state.

Basically I would say it Takes Heinlein's story and shifts more of the focus from philosophical and political theorizing to war fighting and emotional survival.
