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 don't recall any high-mortality bodycount on the human side of things in Ender's Game. Wasn't there just one death in the whole story up until the genocidal end, and that well before the super-soldier training deal?

The spaceship crews Ender was unwittingly put in charge of had their lives spent like gamecounters, because that is what he tought they were.
