Your squad is probably set on the inactive schedule. You can check if they still wear their armor and weapon on their civilian life by cehcking their inventory ('v', then inv).

They become soldiers when they are on a soldier job (kill something), or are in the Active/training schedule (from memory, I think it's 's', then select your squad and 't').

Train him in a civilian skill, turning from military to peasant causes bad thoughts. Also, that's not retarded. Standing around naked with literally hundreds of surplus usable sized armor pieces in the same room, when assigned an uniform that replaces clothing- THAT'S retarded.

After a kill order is complete, dwarves will cancel it.

Right, if you want dwarves to stay in military mode to attack multiple targets, use the move command, not the kill command.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Or set the kill command on them all.
