Absolutely right, Chris.  Thanks, @Myr.  When it comes to military fiction, it is challenging have such great and enjoyable authors as @JamesSavik, or in some of the other categories, authors such as @Mark Arbour or @dkstories or @Mark Ponyboy Peters, and certainly including @quokka and @AC Benus.  Well done, authors.
