Terms of Enlistment by Kloos is almost certainly what you're looking for. I'm not sure why you think it doesn't exist, there's tons of military fiction.

It's not so much that I didn't think it existed, I have been reading military sci fi for years. I could just never find a book or series which delved into the darker aspects of conflict and it's aftermath, things like PTSD, the oppression of war, how war changes societies etc. In the books I have read.

Sci fi-Fantasy Mil-fiction that I have read previously focused much more on laser blasts and underdog victories than the philosophical and hard hitting introspection that I have been searching for. Not to say more straightforward mil-fiction isn't fun, i really enjoy it. I'm just looking for something a bit deeper atm.

I will look up Terms of Enlistment though, sounds interesting.
