The willingness to sacrifice your life for the nation, to put your life on the line for the people of the country, to sacrifice not having a normal life so others have it, to not been able to sleep at night, so other may do so.....! it is the ultimate caring for your fellow citizens!

Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Selfless Service
Honor
Integrity
Personal Courage
Every Army soldier should know what the above is. They should respect and love it. Take pride in it.
Also if you can hear 2,000 Soldiers reciting the Soldier's Creed in unison and not feel good about yourself and your country, then you are not a soldier.

What it boils down to is taking enough pride in your country to die by some coward sitting a mile away calling a number on his cell phone in a war most of the public thinks is wrong.

Well, a soldier is a person who is employed by a state who conduct military duties.
I think you're asking the mentality of a soldier. As a former soldier I can say to me the definition a soldier is one who delicates one's life for the defense of one's country.

Mopp is your best answer and outlines the idea.
Inside it means things of the same. Civilians around you will never be able to understand it. Miltary.... whatever one does contributes to a greater good. Pass people on the street and realize that what one does allows people to have a negative opinion of the military.
It's a pride in who you are, what you are and what you do.

Other soldiers train them, and it helps to look good in green.

The ability to follow an order regardless of how wrong or immoral it is. And, to take the blame for your superiors when they are wrong and immoral.
