I would say the perfect soldier is not one who fights in exchange for paradise, but it is one that is willing to defend the cause even if he himself and his loved ones were sentenced as a result to a fate worse than death.
In a posthuman world, capture by the enemy might mean an eternity of suffering, only those willing to accept said fate might be able to stand against the enemies of the good.
Even now, threats to family and friends, threats to one's own fate, keep good men from raising their hands against evil. But one who embraces the truth, may be willing to forgo the consequences of fate, to do what is right.
