Meet the Soldier

Meet the Soldier, one of nine playable character classes in Team Fortress 2.
Name: Soldier
Role: Offense
Weapons: Rocket Launcher / Shotgun / Shovel
Favorite World War: 2
Special Ability: Rocket Jump
Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. 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 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.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!

Medic: I didn't say that. I just said we're not infected. (But Jane Doe was infected, and nobody knew it because medic didn't use a test kit on him before he started showing symptoms) God speed, you magnificent bastard.

I'm aware of everything happening and what's happened, but can we just appreciate the cameraman for keeping the camera steadier than most school fight recordings?

Rest in peace, Rick May. You were good son, real good; maybe even the best.

The U.S. army made a mistake by not drafting this man for W.W.III.

[@syweb2]

They rejected him because he's a psychotic nut. Didn't stop him from going anyway.
