Answer Details
In this passage from Shakespeare's Othello, "his soldiership" refers to Cassio. Iago is speaking about Cassio to Roderigo, and he is saying that Cassio is all talk and no action when it comes to being a soldier. However, Iago admits that Cassio was still chosen for the position of lieutenant, despite his lack of experience in actual combat, because of his good reputation and recommendation by Othello.
