Dear SF writers of the world

I hit my lifetime tolerance for heroic tales of children drafted into draconian, high mortality super-soldier programs justified as required for the greater good sometime around the end of the novel version of Ender's Game. Please adjust your story lines accordingly.

I guess I'm waiting for the heroic tales of children drafted into 'men who stare at goats' style psychic soldier programs, who quickly learn to fake the desired results wanted by their trainers through mundane means (as all that psychic stuff is a load of crock in this particularly world) funded by the guys with too much money and too little oversight effectively paying the gang of crackpots pushing the program to shut up, go away and stop bugging them. Actual combat coming nowhere near any of the characters involved.

I would happily buy said book.
