Soldier, perhaps, I will be against (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anti

'against' is the definition.
(prefix meaning against)

'soldier perhaps i' is the wordplay.
'soldier perhaps' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant).
'ant'+'i'='ANTI'

'will be' is the link.

(Other definitions for anti that I've seen before include "Definitely not pro" , "Against, informally" , "Not in favor of" , "one opposing?" , "'No' voter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
