I read and liked Red Storm Rising, but that was before I knew enough for it to bother me. (My father, who did ASW work, used to joke with his coworkers about the scene where they remotely detonate a torpedo, though that may have been from Red October.)
If you like tank action, I hear Team Yankee is good, and I quite enjoyed Red Army, both for its perspective shift and its reliance on everything but techno-babble.
Edit: What I mean by techno-babble, when they're describing a column of tanks moving through a blasted village, the author doesn't just rattle off model numbers and call it a day, he describes them very vividly, painting them more as lumbering, animated beasts than machines given designations. I don't think he ever actually gives a model number, ala T-72, throughout the book.

Team Yankee was a great novel written about ww3 from a squad-level perspective

So what type books do you suggest on the subject? I have heard these to are pretty good novels about the hypothetical ground war in Europe. http://www.amazon.com/Red-Army-Ralph-Peters/dp/1451636695/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2JK25VZ6ZNS08&coliid=I3MYN941OLF33Q
