Soldier = soldado & military = militar
Buenos días Rubén , soldier se refiere a soldado en general u oficial en particular. Military como adjetivo es para decir que el sustantivo es militar como "military academy " academia militar; como sustantivo hay que ponerle " the " porque es el ejército(sólo hay uno). Para decir el rango de soldado es private.
