What are some good stories about soldiers?

Yeah I'm sorry, by modern I just meant post WW2 
Strictly speaking the Napoleonic Wars were modern wars but I was too lazy to specify what I meant

dh lawrence, the prussian officer. dh lawrence, the thorn in the flesh. isaac babel, red cavalry. joseph conrad, the duel.

if post WW2 doesn't exclude WW2 itself, then evelyn waugh's sword of honour trilogy.

Yeah that's on my reading list
I've read Brideshead Revisited and I loved it so I'll bump up sword of honour a bit
I've been eyeing the Everyman's Library copy of his Complete Short Stories
You've tried reading them?
