Samurai were hardcore and would never surrender. Soldiers would do their best....but weren't at the level that the samurai were at. Samurai would go past chivalry, and wouldn't be afraid to die. They would actually embrace death.

A samurai was exactly like a soldier. They were trained in many different weapons, and obeyed their daimyo (lord/commander), regardless of what the order was, so pretty much exactly like a modern-day soldier. I'm speaking of course about the samurai class in general, not individuals, as samurai were obviously very different people when compared to modern day soldiers.

The difference between a soldier and a guerrilla is that a soldier will kill his enemy, a guerrilla will kill anyone who is not himself.
