Hey, no need to be ashamed - different strokes and all. And I get you about some of the "classics". I never got into Clarke or E.E. "Doc" Smith and I haven't touched Asimov, yet.
Dickson's Dorsai series is also more military sci-fi, though each book focuses on a different character that is related to the main protagonist from the previous novel.
Dune is really great (though I didn't enjoy the rest of the series as much as the first novel). And I'm in a club of five who like the Lynch film, LOL.
Heinlein's Starship Trooper may be something for you as it's more military than his later works or his young adult novels. Stranger in a Strange Land is also epic.
Man, you really make me wanna dig out my old books and read. Pity most are at my parents' place.
