A DOG'S LIFE IN ALIEN WORLDS

Boot camp
"Basic Training" by Mark L. Van Name: A future draftee must suck it in and turn from a boy into a man—or he'll never see age eleven.

In the field
"Straw" by Gene Wolfe: A new recruit discovers civilians have one form of payment when they want soldiers to stay—and another to make them leave.

Re-upping
"Time Piece" by Joe Haldeman: In the relativistic Forever War, a soldier must keep fighting—to defend a home he knows no longer exists.

R & R
"Liberty Port" by David Drake: An officer never shirks his duty—even if his legs are blown off, and his job is to stop Hammer's Brigade from fragging android prostitutes.

They just fade away
"A Relic of War" by Keith Laumer: Bobby's just a rusted junk heap on the town square—but inside this Bolo still beats the circuitry of a hero.
