[[Image:Soldier2.jpg|thumb|right|The Soldier in his early days during [[Jason Everman|The 2Fort War]], nicknamed "[[Megaman|The Blue Bomber]]" during that time.]]
The Soldier is one of [[Heavy Weapons Guy]]'s and [[Demoman]]'s [[gay]] soldier-[[love]]rs in [[Team Fortress 2]]. He is known to be one of [[Mama Luigi]]'s few weaknesses, due to excessive yelling and having an uncanny [[Bomb|explosion fetish]].

Cultural Heritage: A real [[America]]n.
===Arsenal===
*'''Rocket Launcher''': Fires rockets. If you're his unlucky victim it was more then likely a crit rocket.
*'''Shotgun''': Good God how many classes have a fucking shotgun as a secondary weapon?
*'''Shovel''': The very one which will eventually be used [[Die|to bury him]]. In the meantime it does a great job making people to bury.

====Update====
*'''Direct Hit''': Fires faster and more powerful rockets, but they have less splash damage, hence the name "Direct Hit." If you're his unlucky victim you were either in midair or a class with low health to begin with. Replaces the ''ROOW-KIT LAUNCHER!''
*'''Buff Banner''': Rush the fort, maggots! If you can survive long enough to fill your rage meter, you can toot your bugle, raise your flag and <s>surrender</s> your allies nearby will fire minicrits! Replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Equalizer''': As you take more damage, you become stronger when holding this...I don't get it either. Taunting with it involves [[Suicide|blowing himself up]]. Replaces the ''Shovel.''
*'''Gunboats''': Earned from winning the war against those pesky [[Demoman|Demomen]], these special armored boots are designed to reduce damage inflicted from rocketjumping and are also an essential tool [[Legend of Zelda|in several dungeons]]. Replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Rocket Jumper''': A basically useless rocket launcher that deals no damage, but it sure is great for practicing rocket jumping. Who needs jetpacks when you've got one of these babies?
*'''Cow Mangler 5000''': HOLY SHIT. This weapon's a REAL laser bazooka, designed for instant disintegration! Not needing ammo, this baby's charged shot can disable even Level 3 Sentries! Now how does that feel [[Spy]]? Not only that but you can show the [[Pyro]] how it's done by setting enemies hit by the blast on fire! While you try and contain that awesomeness, I'll tell you now it replaces the ''ROOW-KIT LAUNCHER!''
*'''Righteous Bison''': If you thought the Cow Mangler was awesome, check out this nifty ray gun! Enjoy listening to their screams of pain as your shots penetrate right through multiple enemies! Just to couple it with the Cow Mangler, this blaster replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Conscientious Objector''': You are now a conscientious objector to being DEAD, thanks to this protest sign with which you can put on ANY IMAGE and I mean ANY IMAGE (Provided you have the tool)! Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Escape Plan''': A pickaxe just like the Equalizer but it increases speed as you take damage and marks you for death. It's an all-or-nothing risk. Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Necro Smasher''': A miniature replica of the hammer used in the World's Largest Strongman Machine. Not only the classic tool for testing your strength, but also a great blood-splattering, bone-breaking bludgeon! Replaces the ''Shovel''.

====Community====
*'''Pain Train''': A makeshift club made from a discarded Axtinguisher handle and an iron railroad spike, which inexplicably increases the wielder's capture rate. The Demoman can also wield this weapon. Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Black Box''': This trusty rocket launcher originally used for blowing up tanks heals the Soldier on every successful hit trading off for a smaller clip size. Ok, how many classes have a way of healing themselves now? Replaces the ''RAW-KIT LAWNCHAIR''.
*'''Battalion's Backup''': If you can survive long enough to fill your rage meter this time, teammates are protected from crits and take less damage with extra resistance against sentries. Rally an almost invincible horde! Replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Concheror''': What more vampire weapons? Anyway, dealing damage builds rage and when the seashell is blown, all nearby teammates heal some of the damage they deal and get a speed boost. Nothing like good old Japanese guile to rally the troops! Also has passive regenerating health to keep your warlord alive. Replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Half-Zatoichi''': Don't pull this katana out when you don't need it, because you can't swap to another weapon until you make a kill with this one. The Demoman can also use this...wait...are they just gonna battle sword to sword rather than capping the intelligence? Anywho, replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Mantreads''': The Soldier gets in on [[Mario]]'s act of Goomba stomping his enemies into oblivion with these damage dealing boots. Trust me. You're not gonna like being hit by a Rocket Stomp. Replaces the ''Shotgun''.
*'''Disciplinary Action''': Screw human rights! Whacking your men with this Riding Crop has proven to increase running speed of teammates into battle! Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Liberty Launcher''': Fires faster rockets, but no splash damage penalty here. There is, however, an overall damage penalty. Regardless, you might as well go into a humiliation stance. Replaces the ''RAW-KIT''...wait. I think you already know what it replaces.
*'''Reserve Shooter''': Juggle 'em up with one rocket, shoot 'em down with the 5 second Mini-Crit bonus for airborne targets this new ''shotgun'' brings.
*'''Market Gardener''': This ''Shovel'' is lethal to other airborne targets when rocket jumping. No sticky jumper or FaN Scout should dare interrupt your graceful leap when you've got this baby!
*'''Beggar's Bazooka''': Can load up to three rockets for a barrage of destruction, like in Unreal Tournament! But they deviate in 3 different degrees of direction, like your launcher had one too many to drink. Also, careful not to overload or else it'll misfire, leaving you with a team full of laughter. Be extra careful with the ammo too, as you cannot collect ammo from dispensers while using it. Replaces the ''Rocket Launcher''.
*'''Bat Outta Hell''': This gruesome skull on a spine gives new meaning to the word "headbanging" as you whack your enemies with it! In fact, you can make this weapon by tearing out your own skull and spine...actually, don't. Replaces the ''Shovel''.

====Promotion====
*'''Frying Pan''': CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG. That about sums up this weapon. Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Original''': Holy Shit Quotient is at its peak with this classic Rocket Launcher from Quake. Updated look, original sounds and...[[Yes|HOLY COW IN THE CENTRE OF THE SCREEN JUST LIKE OLD TIMES]]! Replaces the ''Rocket Launcher''. No I don't feel like doing that joke today.
*'''Freedom Staff''': A staff with a golden eagle on top. Originally used by Kofi Annan to beat many a great dictator's head in, it has since been stolen and is for some reason now in the TF2 team's arsenal.  Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Ham Shank''': [[Heavy Weapons Guy|Don't run! It's just ham!]] No! It really is! Who knew that such a mass of meat could be a useful bludgeon? Replaces the ''Shovel''.

====Event====
*'''Saxxy''': Only a select few received this coveted statuette of good old [[Saxton Hale|Saxton]] said to have been carved by King Midas/Sauron specially for the Saxxy Awards replay contest. Now MORE people are turning their enemies into gold and holding bragging rights! Replaces the ''Shovel''.
*'''Memory Maker''': Given only to those who made the finals of the Second Saxxy Awards, this camera makes the ideal dual-purpose video capture device: For bludgeoning people with it and recording a video of you bludgeoning people with it! Replaces the ''Shovel''.

Special Note: When the Soldier wields the Black Box and Battalion's Backup plus a hat called the "Grenadier's Softcap", he leaves a calling card on his victims. That useless tank of a maggot just got busted!

=== World War II ===
Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War II, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the [[United States|U.S.]] military (including the [[Oshawott|Coast Guard]]). Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to [[Europe]]. After arriving and finally locating [[Poland]], the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a [[Nazi]] [[Die|killing]] spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the [[war]] in 1949. 

=== Vietnam and 2Fort ===
He desperately wanted to fight in Vietnam as well, but still the Soldier was rejected from the military branches (Even if drafting was used.) This time he went to Teufort, New Mexico instead to kill some other people. He was awarded the Medal of Honour by himself and was signed as head of the General of the Blue Team. It later turned out that the Red Team had more players and more points, so the Soldier switched like a bastard to the Red Team and has been fighting on it ever since.
