A soldier is a man or woman who selflessly devotes thier life to ensure that all citizens of their country can sleep with peace of mind and live out day to day without fear. A soldier gives you your freedom, and asks nothing in return. A soldier is the highest type of citizen. A soldier is what most of you are scared to be.

the act of doing whatever it takes to achieve a goal, in a similar way to a soldier. Willing to hustle, grind, steal, fight, kill, to survive and protect yourself and/ or family.

A soldier is a person that fights through rough times. When things get hard or discouraging, they press on and don't give up. Most of us are soldiers at some time in our lives.

A "Hooah", or a warrior. A person of unarguable importance to his team, family, and/or country. Proud member of a "Band of Brothers". If wearing an American flag patch on his right arm- a "Soldier" will be the last thing you see if you cross the United States.
