“

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

”

A crazy 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^[1]
Motto:	"I'm a Rocket Man"^[1]
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.

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 has more hats than any other class.
The Soldier's beta emblem was a helmet instead of a rocket:
