I did not mention JUST soldiers, I also mentioned several places further away from the southern border (Texas is to Mexico as Michigan is to Canada; they're neighbors, so there's influence, but not that much.). Oh, the Dakotas are the same way, too, and so is Montana, and Kentucky, and Virginia.... You get the drift?

A large percentage of the U.S. outside of 'soldiers' (and other military personnel, since "Soldiers" technically only refers to the Army, to the exclusion of the Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard (yes they count as military) and so forth) happen to like their guns quite a bit.

Unfortunately there is also a large portion that is very pro-gun control (i.e. anti-Second Amendment), and they tend to be quite vocal and borderline violent. Notice that there aren't many rambunctious protests in support of the second amendment. >.>  Just saying.
