The Soldier is a crazed, jingoistic patriot from Midwest, USA. Tough and well-armed, he is versatile, capable of both offense and defense. The Soldier is well known for his spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can detonate a rocket at his feet and launch himself skyward. Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Soldier often acts recklessly and even stupidly.
