SOLVED. Adult SciFi - military, space, suspended animation, time span. [s]

I recall reading this in the 80s and it might have been a DAW yellow spine book. The premise is that soldiers were placed in suspended animation at the end of each round of combat to wait for the next war. Eventually, the POV is substantially in the future and soldiers are copies.

A couple of options:
The Eternity Brigade by Stephen Goldin (1980)
This book was a suggestion from someone in this other forum:
https://scifi.stackexchange.com/quest.... I came across the post when searching some keywords that you mentioned in your description.

The Blue Ice Pilot by Lou Fisher (1986). This one seems less likely...

The Eternity Brigade is it!! I recall that neon cover so vividly.

Thank you!!

I'm glad the other search was solved! And that it's also the book that you were looking for :-)
