This panel will explore the ongoing changes to military science fiction as a consequence of the last decade and a half of warfare around the world. Panelists will discuss the classic tropes of MilSF (e.g. power armor, invading other worlds, etc.), the ways in which MilSF examines veterans communities, how they deal with unconventional warfare (e.g. insurgencies, civilians in the path of war, etc), and how the resultant psychological traumas impact soldiers and civilians alike.
