Hey guys/girls.
Do you know where I can get a US solider?
Thanks.
I assume you mean a minifig rather than a brick.
Tried Brickarms?
Tried.
None at all. 
I've been wondering this to and I can't find anything (that's cheap anyway)! But your right T.G. Tom, the Russians would work, but I don't really want to buy a lot of the Indiana Jones sets since my funds are at a minimum.
Well, you're going to have to buy something. If you can't buy lots of Indy figs, can you afford lots of American soldier figs? 
Someone on the Fine Clonier Forums (I think) once made a group US-military-type guys. . . except they had clay/fabric berets. The creator used acrylic paint, I'm pretty sure, on plain torsos. (I wish I could find that picture; it was pretty good.)
Pick up some cheap second-hand 'figs at a yard sale or consignment store and take a paint brush to them. It'll be much cheaper than buying custom ones.
Do you mean a modern soldier or circa 1790's
Search at Bricklink
I don´t know if you could find one there but try....

You can always be creative and use the russian soldiers from the Indy sets and use a different helmet like this one
Well, I am planing to have the US fight the Russians, so I am using that uniform for the Russians.
EDIT: I found this picture on Google. It says it is a modern US solider. Do you think the German solider from the Indiana Jones LEGO set will do?

With a helmet, they could work, I suppose. They run from 1$-2$ apiece on Bricklink, so they're not the cheapest, though.
I should probably explain my idea.
It is a war in the future in USA where the Russians fight the US. The soldiers where the uniforms that soldiers wear today.
EDIT: I've found my body, now Ii need help in finding a place where I can purchase helmets.

Wait, are you looking for a gun or a helmet?
EDIT: I've found my body, now Ii need help in finding a place where I can purchase helmets.
Hat.
I was talking about the helmet in that pic.
That's a brickarms deal. He used to have it on his site for order, but he must have stopped making them.
