I define a soldier as someone who belongs to a state army and wears a uniform. I would also add that a soldier receives initial formal training in his/her tradecraft and receives further training as s/he advances in rank. A soldier is also part of a military that typically has some sort of code of service discipline. A soldier is also commanded by someone responsible for subordinates.
I get based on your life path that you're proud of the word and I can respect that. I think for most people outside the life - a soldier is someone who fights for a cause and while you could lump HA members into that, I think as vile as they may be, the Taliban is closer to you than they are to the HA.

They train, they rank and they lead right?
