I know it might be strange to be referencing a two week old post with nothing controversial being said as a point of discussion, but upon stumbling upon it I actually got to thinking about the idea of being a solider and wondering who among us consider themselves soldiers.

While I served in the Praetoria, I think I was some sort of soldier, but I don’t think it’s an accurate label for myself now. At the same time, I don’t think ‘civilian’ is anywhere close to an accurate description of me either, so I’m honestly at a bit of a loss at the moment. How does everyone else see themselves in this regard? Feel free to inform me how you see me as well if you’ve an opinion on the matter (in regard to being a ‘soldier’ or not).
