I'm writing an essay for Civics and am stuck on a noun meaning "somebody in the military". The sentence doesn't sound correct if I use more than one word to describe somebody in the military, so I need one noun to say that =]
Thanks!

I say soldier. It is not specific to which branch or gender of the soldier.
