I wonder whether fictional classics like "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Red Badge of Courage" would ever make the list? The former, being anti-war and replete with the ugliness of war, almost certainly would not; the latter, also stark with the horrors of war but showing how courage and honor they did not know they possessed is often manifested in ordinary soldiers, might be edifying.

The Red Badge of Courage is on the list for E-4/E-5. Whether Remarque's "pity the poor loser" is listed, is still unknown.
