Oblique -
Outstanding List!! I've read most of it, and had the same problem with rebuying books.
I noticed one big miss in the Niven- Pournelle series - "The Mote in God's Eye" wasn't there.
A Few more additions:
If you can find it a great addition to your list, not really SciFi or military - is "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M Miller (1959)
Saberhagen's "Sword Trilogy"
"The Grey Mane of Morning" Joy Chant
"Steppe" Piers Anthony
"The Once and Future King" and "The Book of Merlin" T.H. White
"Mother" Maxim Gorky (the FOGs will really get a kick out of this one)
"Alas, Babylon" Pat Frank (may be out of print)
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut Jr
