Definition of a Soldier:
He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, salute, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
