I think you mean "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale".
Military SF I've enjoyed includes Zahn's Conquerors' trilogy, David Drake's "Hammer's Slammers" stories, and Keith Laumer's Bolo stories. Laumer's Retief stories are a lot of fun.
I'm especially fond of time/dimension travel stories. Favorites in that Category are Michael McCollum's _A Greater Infinity_ , Frederick Pohl's _The Coming of the Quantum Cats_, and Poul Anderson's Time Patrol stories.
If you can find a copy, H. Beam Piper's _Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen_ is both military SF and dimension travel. Roland Green & John F. Carr did a pretty good sequel to Kalvan called _Great King's War_.
