Cutting and pasting what I said to likeadeuce about soldiers, above:
You're mostly right about soldiers, I think, though I'd modify it a bit: professional soldiers, career soldiers, don't generally interest me as much as temporary soldiers who've joined up or been conscripted because of a war. I think it's because although war stories fascinate me, I am uncomfortable with the military ethos and I prefer to focus on people who fight because circumstances don't leave them much choice.
