i'm looking for a manga that focuses on a soldier at war

i would prefer if they were infantry but other sections in the military are fine as long as there is combat involved

Love Story, Killed - a one-shot spinoff from SaiKano, which might also fit depending on how real-world realistic you were looking for.

yeah saikano
and maybe
basara
code geass(watch the anime) he does the commanding though(hes a genius 😀 ),i really like how he's not your typical perfect-in-everyway shounen(seinen?) lead..hes very bad at direct combat/fighting
Hoshi no Koe is highly recommended
neon genesis evangelion must read/watch !

All Quiet on Lawson War Front
It is meant to be a parody though.

Ares; They're mercenaries hired by a countries army, not exactly soldiers.
Berserk

Grey, if you don't mind a post-apocalyptic setting.

Not really sure if he belongs to the military but it's about a battleship vs other battleships. As in: navy.

Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio

Also oops... I forgot: maybe Shingeki no Kyojin

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Red eyes here.
Zipang- they're in the navy though.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Red eyes here.

I totally second this... also maybe Kidou Ryodan Hachifukujin

For a bit of historical in your fiction, there's Cat Shit One, which deals with soldiers in the Vietnam War (albeit substituted with anthropomorphized animals) in a detail-rich setting.

Ares is a must. Dont mind the art, the story is one of the best in history.

Break Blade - though the protagonist did not really want to become a soldier in the first place, but he kinda got into it. It's with some mecha in it too.

i love red eyes.

It still great manga to me.

Pumpkin Scissors It has a fantasy vibe similar to Fullmetal Alchemist, what you might call Steampunk. The protagonist are all soldiers.

Gunka no Baltzar Good manga about soldiers with a 19th century european setting not the traditional asian/japanese one.

Shingeki no Kyojin You've probably heard of it already, if not check it out.

Bokko The MC is original : old and relies more on wits than usual in this kind of manga. The manga is about a siege in ancient china. He's more a general than a regular soldier, but there's still lots of combat where he's involved.

Koukoku no Shugosha A decent manga about war/soldiers. The battle tigers idea is interesting if a little cheap.

All You Need Is Kill Relatively short but good. The recent movie Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise is based on it.

Jormungand The MC is a mercenary. It is kinda similar to Black Lagoon in setting and mood.

I'm surprised that no one has said this year but kingdom is one of the best war mangas out there
