About This Quiz
Unfortunately, wars have been a big part of our history, Regardless of whether the reasons for fighting were just or not, which is debatable, men and women around the world have fought and given their lives for their countries and the cause they believed in. These people have either inspired us, done us proud or have disappointed us beyond belief. Because soldiers were so deeply impactful in real life, of course, Hollywood took it and ran all the way to the bank with it.ÂÂ
So, today, with soldiers in mind, we want to make the ultimate identification quiz. We've gathered some of the most honorable, dirty, fun and badass soldiers on the big and little screen. They come from movies and TV shows, both new and old, and it's your job to not only identify them, but also to tell us the name of the film or show they appeared on or in.ÂÂ
Sure, people like Captain America, Mulan and John Rambo are easily identified just because they are so darn popular, but could you match the likes of Animal Mother, Nicholas Brody and Danny Archer to their movies and shows? Let's test your knowledge right this second with this quiz!ÂÂ
