I am looking for a story that is about a war, and in that war a single persons progression. Preferably from a low ranked soldier up to something higher. The war can be historical, present, or futuristic. Only restriction is no yaoi or shonen ai

Some examples of what I am looking for are:
Kingdom
The normal period in Berserk


Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

red eyes
it takes some time until the past of the main character is told about.

historie - might fit as well. I didn't continue reading it for a long time so I don't know how much war we get to see
