"Soldier on" is a semi-commonly used phrase that I suspect most (at least Americans) reading the comment knew exactly what they meant.

Unsure if you were just unfamiliar with the phrase or wanted to point out something you felt was inaccurate about it.

> Soldier on

Commando would better fit the description of "Sabotaging the team, product and costumers"

The quoted text was:

> So many people where I am will just "soldier on" because they have no choice.

That seems to fit exactly with the definition you posted.

> v. To continue or persist, despite adversity or difficulty.

They don't have any choice but to go to work, so they go to work.

I honestly don't understand what you're getting at with your "commando" idea.
