You want ultra-conservative military sci-fi? Try John Ringo's "Watch on the Rhine". Aliens that eat people invade earth. Who could possibly be strong enough to fight them. How about regenerating the Waffen-SS. The Greens and Socialists cry murder and oppose them at every step, colaborating with other aliens to stop them even though it risks the human race being eaten. The Greens would rather risk the aliens winning then use nuclear weapons or harm the environment. One even says wouldn't it be better if the aliens ate most of humanity, then we wouldn't be such a load on the planet. There's a discussion at the back of the book where the Authors explain why we need to be tough if we expect to win the war on terror, their argument being we risk losing western civilisation, and we aren't helped by socialists, liberals and environmentalists oppposing what needs to be done to win. At one point in the book a Waffen-SS member says he's never been able to tell the difference between a red and a green.
