You left out one of my favorite series, and (oh the Shame) I cannot remember the name of the author. It concerned military machines powered by the mind of disabled or deceased soldiers, making the machines almost human in thought. I loved this series. It's what got me into Military sci/fi/. Oh, just remembered--Keith Laumer. I've scoured every book site and store to read everything he wrote.
