“

I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach.
If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America.

— The Soldier on real fear

”

A psychotic patriot from the heart of America, the Soldier (allegedly Mister Jane Doe) is the bread and butter general assault unit of the team. While one of the easier to understand classes on the roster, he is far from the weakest. In fact, when played right, the Soldier can be one of the most dangerous classes on the battlefield. Equipped with his Rocket Launcher and stamina to spare, the Soldier is a highly versatile class for both offensive and defensive roles. A great starter class to get familiar with the game.

The ability the Soldier is infamous for is the spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can point his Rocket Launcher downward, leap into the air- and fire, propelling himself skyward at the cost of some health (though as the Soldier attests, "Pain is weakness leaving the body.") This ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the Scout and his leaping prowess.

The Soldier is voiced by Rick May.

Name:	Mister Jane Doe
Location of origin:	Midwest, USA
Job:	Shock & Awe
Motto:	"I'm a Rocket Man"
Favourite World War:	2
Special ability:	Rocket Jump
Emblems:
Description:	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.

Basic Strategy

You can rocket jump to great heights by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket at the ground.
Aim rockets at enemy's feet to ensure they can't avoid the explosion damage.

Trivia

The Soldier has made several posts on the TF2 Official Blog. He is the only class to have done so.
The Soldier's voice actor and the Engineer's voice actor have both voiced the character Wolf O'Donnell from Nintendo's Star Fox series: Rick May (the Soldier) in Star Fox 64, and Grant Goodeve (the Engineer) in Star Fox: Assault.
The Soldier's beta emblem was a helmet instead of a rocket:

+*The Soldier's beta emblem was a helmet instead of a rocket:
-*The Soldier often makes references to the other character's country of origin. These references sometimes display a surprisingly detailed knowledge of the country in question (taunting the [[Sniper]] for not being prepared for the level of violence on the battlefield, a reference to Australia's heavy censors on video games and film) and sometimes none whatsoever (as he believes the [[Engineer]] is a Canadian, though it may be intended to be an insult by labeling the Engineer as such). He also shows that despite his violent attitude and apparent lack of intelligence, he knows a fair bit about current events (as he references the Cold War and World War II that he (unofficially) fought in when dominating a Heavy or Medic), and military policy (when he references "Section 8" and war crimes in his lines and achievements)
-*The Soldier does not openly say that he is not a real Soldier (being denied from every branch of military, and going on his own tour of duty) and keeps the fact a secret. The mere suggestion that the Soldier is a civilian is liable to send him into a fit of self-righteous fury.
-*The Soldier makes up odd names for his enemies during dominations. He has given the [[Sniper]] six names during domination, most of them very similar.
