I just read up on that Turtledove series.
Worldwar.
From what I have gathered, that is next on my list.
Turtledove takes more of a grand strategy approach to his books if that helps at all.

Check out John Ringo's Posleen War series. Action packed. Old Man's War series great but I wouldn't comsider it "military". Forever War was great too.

Have you ever read or heard of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series set in the Napoleonic Wars? (The movie 'The Far Side of the World' was made from this series.) David Drake has written a series of books, The RCN Series, (RCN = Republic of Cinnabar Navy) that uses the Aubrey/Maturin series as inspiration for a space navy series. Its excellent.
As a matter of fact, anything by David Drake, John Ringo, and Tom Kratman is excellent.
Stick to Baen (publisher) and you will always be able to find good military sci-fi.
