1.a toy soldier made of literal tin
2. An expendable, generic, (everyday,
run of the mill) mass produced/trained soldier.
3. A durogative name for a soldier who is generic, mass produced and will say yes to any order given. Even if its suicidal, morally wrong, or will lead to
the ultimate sacrifice being made.
(I.e. if the soldier is ordered to murder an entire innocent village to set an example, the tin soldier will do it without question.)
4.a brainwashed person who does the bidding of a mad man.
5.(non military related) a person brainwashed by society and mass media.this person follows the latest fad/ trends, listens to mass produced fad music, and blindly goes with what hes told. Like Emmett from "
The Lego movie"
