Question for those more informed than I
What year would you say MilSF became a recognizable subgenre?
Although there were books we'd now classify as MilSF all along, I don't think it gelled (in the sense of attracting half-talented imitators) until after Hammer's Slammers. In fact, the start date might be even later, possibly much later.
What say you folks?
