this is so confusing! i am kinda new here but i have not posted because I feel scared that I might annoy people. Can you choose to be a turk? or do you have to go through levels?
The turks and soldier are two different branches of service, they are not in heirarchy with one another. Soldier first-class is the highest rank in soldier. The turks do seem to exert some amount of power over lower-rankiing soldiers, but the groups answer to different people.
As far as SOLDIER standing for something, i dont think it does. It is capitalized for dramatic effect maybe?
Even if you could be a turk, you wouldnt want to be.. because they are bad guys! (even though they are pretty cool)
