Seems like part of the problem is that people who haven't actually BEEN soldiers have trouble grasping what's actually in the Soldier skill (and what isn't). I suspect that leads to the tendency to either (a) beef up the Soldier skill to something useful by including more tasks than it's actually meant to cover, or (b) split the skill into its apparent components, each of which is a useful skill on its own, and either get rid of Soldier altogether or reduce it to a Perk or something.
