Recently got some John Ringo books at a yard sale and was wanting some ideas for other Military Sci Fi book series.

Forget who it's by but "Old Man's War" is about a human military based on repurposing the elderly of Earth to fight various alien factions.
Mostly focuses on tactical elements, but the variety of the philosophies of the different species is interesting and the characters are pretty well fleshed out.
Iirc, there's at least a trilogy based on it.
OP, Old Man's War is by Scalzi. Avoid like the plague.
Old Man’s War is actually pretty good by itself. The rest of the series falls off substantially after that.
The problem with Scalzi is that he is almost entirely dialogue driven. He can’t describe a setting to save his life.
The other problem with him is that he's a huge leftoid cuckold who wears dresses and let's his wife fuck random black men.
