Soldiers drag us out (6)
I believe the answer is:
guards
'soldiers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'drag us out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'drag'+'us'='dragus'
'dragus' with letters rearranged gives 'GUARDS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guards that I've seen before include "troops" , "Keeps watch" , "Defends" , "They protect" , "Protection" .)
