Not all combat soldiers are INFANTRY and not all INFANTRY are SOLDIERS (some are U.S. MARINES).

When deployed to a combat zone for more than 90 days then you earn your combat patch whether you leave the camp or base or dont leave it in order to patrol your sector. The Infantry soldier is the man on the ground walking and patroling his sector in a face to face contact with the enemy. All soldiers are combat soldiers but not all soldiers are Infantry.

Combat arms is Infantry, Armor, and atrillery. They are all combat soldiers. You call them infantry men and they can call each other a variety of names depending on unit.

infantry refers to 11Bravos, they are the infantrymen in the army. Combat soldier could be a cook. Im a medic in the army, and i have a combat action badge from Afghanistan, i am a combat soldier, i am not an infantrymen. They have two different demographics.

No.... Infantry is a specific term.... It means something. "Combat Soldier" is to generic.

Any soldier can be considered a combat soldier. they may be medical but they still carry weapons do they not? i just noticed your highlight of infant....does that make you insecure? you picture a bunch of babies crawling their way to where ever and just pooping and sleeping every where. i could see in now look out here comes the infant...try they'll crap on you in a heart beat and want their diapers changed. good god what is the world comming to??
