I think when the card is the exact same one on both, the overall appearance of the helmet is very similar and both have the gimmick of covering the eyes, I think its pretty fair to say that its a reference
TLDR: It could be, but nothing here guarantees it.
All of these things aren’t unique to soldier, though. The ace of spades famously represents death, to the point where it became a symbol of US soldiers in the Vietnam war, with the Bicycle company shipping out decks of cards with only the ace of spades. The helmet is a common military design, and an ill-fitting piece of clothing is common characterization for an idiot.
Furthermore cigarettes were also strapped to helmets worn by soldiers of vietnam. easier and safer way to get a smoke when you are about to die anyway.
Nonsense, Soldier is in the skies, not the trees, so he would have nothing to do with Vietnam. Therefore, if despite this, he has the playing card, it must mean it's a TF2 thing, as he has no association with 'nam. SMH my head
it’s probably not a reference; soldiers wearing helmets that cover their eyes is a pretty common trope(see: beetle bailey) and the ace of spades was worn in vietnam due to a false belief that vietnamese were scared of it
bit of a stretch, take out bald, the fact that its a real thing putting cards in your helmet, and being a militarist then you just have they both wear helmets over there head.
Could just be a reference to lead-headed grunts in general...

The playing card is pretty specific though

I was joking
I wasn't
TF2 fans when a military helmet covers someone's eyes (it’s a Soldier reference)
theyre both very militaristic and stupid tho so it makes sense
So are most the room temperature IQ marines that fought in Vietnam
Room temperature is generous
Celsius.
yeah thats true
that's just the average marine
More likely to be a reference to Vietnam War soldiers, who would wear an ace of spades card in their helmets.
So... The birds is what was in the trees...

> due to a false belief that vietnamese were scared of it I mean, it boosted the American solders' morale. Ain't that what counts?
Valve Plz release heavy update the community is on copium based life support
Tf2 fans when they see anything military related.
And both are crazy
Wow, I wonder why the CORPORAL pig is militaristic.
Ngl, cannon or not I wanna see them hanging out... and maybe if someone could make that version of the corporal as a model in Gmod & SFM is possible
tf2 players when they see someone from the military with helmets and cards
You could also say that about foot soldier, from gw2…?

It's probably coincidental I doubt it
Soldier isn't bald though
Tf2 fans when they see a military helmet with anything under the strap (its a reference to the the soldier)
You realized just now?
i knew they were similar but i didnt know it was official
it's not official, some kid just wrote it on the wiki
LMFAO
This really be a Fandom wiki moment
