    Hmm, maybe I’m confused with a different book, I’ll have to read them again. But as I remember that is where the “old man” comes from, him fighting a war that stretches for hundreds or thousands of years for the “empire”, yet only a lifetime for him.

      Nope, totally different book series. In Old Man’s War, 75 year olds from earth are recruited to fight aliens in space. How the military makes use of old farts is the first plot point.
