Soldier joins man touring American country (8)
I believe the answer is:
paraguay
'country' is the definition.
(Paraguay is an example)
'soldier joins man touring american' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'soldier' could be 'para' (short for paratrouper) and 'para' is found in the answer.
'american' could be 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'man' could be 'guy' (guy is a kind of man) and 'guy' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paraguay that I've seen before include "Landlocked South American country" , "S American country, capital Asuncion" , "landlocked territory" , "state in South America" , "republic" .)
