from dictionary.com
sol·dier ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sljr)
n.
One who serves in an army.
An enlisted person or a noncommissioned officer.
An active, loyal, or militant follower of an organization.
A sexually undeveloped form of certain ants and termites, having large heads and powerful jaws.
One of a group of honeybees that swarm in defense of a hive.
soldier·ship n.
Word History: Why do soldiers fight? One answer is hidden in the word soldier itself. Its first recorded occurrence is found in a work composed around 1300, the word having come into Middle English (as soudier) from Old French soudoior and Anglo-Norman soudeour. The Old French word, first recorded in the 12th century, is derived from sol or soud, Old French forms of Modern French sou. There is no longer a French coin named sou, but the meaning of sou alerts us to the fact that money is involved. Indeed, Old French sol referred to a coin and also meant “pay,” and a soudoior was a man who fought for pay. This was a concept worth expressing in an era when many men were not paid for fighting but did it in service to a feudal superior. Thus soldier is parallel to the word mercenary, which goes back to Latin mercnnrius, derived from mercs, “pay,” and meaning “working for pay.” The word could also be used as a noun, one of whose senses was “a soldier of fortune.”

2. To make a pretense of doing something, or of performing any task. [Colloq.U.S.]

It needs an opera glass to discover whether the leaders are pulling, or only soldiering. --C. D. Warner.

One who is engaged in military service as an officer or a private; one who serves in an army; one of an organized body of combatants.

Definition of a Marine...
U.S Marine, Over 228 years of romping, stomping, hell raising, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a bomb crater, our mother was an M-16, our father is the devil. Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life. I am a rough looking roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self- centered, over bearing, and I do not fear for i am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts who arose from the sea, and whose sole purpose in life is to perpetuate death and destruction upon the festering of anti- americans throughout the globe, whenever and wherever it may arise. And when my time comes, I'll die like a MARINE, a glorious death on the battlefield, giving my life for mom, apple pie and the american flag. We stole the eagle from the airforce, the anchor from the Navy, the rope from the Army, and on the seventh day while God was reting, we overran his perimeter and stole the globe. We've been running the show eversince. We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and slap the hell out of both of them. Warrior by day, lover by night drunkard by choice. MARINE BY GOD!!!
