A soldier risks his life to protect and defend his country. He kills one man to save four others. He gets paid to feed his family. And he does a whole lot more than wat i said

a soldier is willing to die/kill because- 1 he is protecting his buddies 2 he is protecting his family 3 he is protecting his country at least in my opinion, in combat people are not so patriotic as much as they are driven by a need to survive and help there buddies make it. |

| |  I have no idea what you are trying to imply. but alike all services its paying your debt to society and showing some pride for the country you reside in. ARMY is alike any other service The service member resides in the US works like any other American and gets paid by the same society. There is no difference what he does or how he does it. He is a protector, thats his job in the military. |

It varies from person to person. For one, instinct may make a person a good soldier, another person may make a good soldier becuase they have an iron will and determination. Keep in mind that all soldiers deserve our respect, however all soldiers are not good soldiers. Some do not belong...
\"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.\" - TR |

I think a Soldier is a person who has the moral conviction to give back to the society, of which he is a product of, by defending that society and its interests.
\"Each man will charge forward to the very end, irrespective of the cost in casualties. There will be no halt and no retreat. There will only be the assault and the advance. - Gen Israel Tal Israel,1967\" |

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. -Stephen Ambrose |

HOOAH! Better said it can not be - thanks ckim!
I'd rather be a Soldier with a mule and mountain gun, than Knight of old, with spurs of gold, or Roman, Greek or Hun. For when there's trouble brewing, they always send for me! Mortui Non Mordent - Celeritas Et Accuratio |
