soldier (tf2)

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it!

One of the playable classes in Team Fortress 2, real name Jane Doe.

An authoritative, jingoistic, insane military man, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. Army during World War 2, so he financed his own trip to Poland, killing Nazis by himself until informed of the war's end years prior. Dedicates himself to a bizarre, warped version of American history and excellence, to the point where his multinational teammates simply play along to avoid his ire. Despite being hilariously crazy, he remains an excellent combatant in the field of war.

In game, the Soldier has higher health and slower movement speed than most classes, offset by his ability to rocket jump. His signature weapons are his rocket launcher, his shotgun, and a trench shovel he wields as a melee weapon, along with a combination backpack and bugle he can use to inspire his allies with various buffs, and various alternative versions of each.

By default, the Soldier wears a team colored coat, several military belts, black pants and boots, a grenade pair on his chest, and a helmet that often gives him covered eyes.
