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.

But there are also clone-soldiers with brand-new personalities (the Ghost Brigades of the second book), who seem to be used to commit war crimes for rather Enderlike reasons. So Scalzi's working both ends of the spectrum.
