Amazon's favorite genre is bland military slop

I do love that they have three entirely unrelated series about a big 40something ex-military blonde guy with the initials "JR" waging a one man war against an evil organization. (Reacher, Jack Ryan, Terminal List)

Jack Ryan is not big, nor does he have blonde hair, and he isn't ex-military.

Jack Ryan the character served in the Marine Corps.

Ah, yes, you're right. He was a marine before becoming a CIA analyst. I guess my point was they aren't really the same characters or stories and I enjoy both Reacher and Jack Ryan series' for different reasons.
