Plus there's other NPCs who say they were in SOLDIER and I don't really get how they aren't being manipulated like the clones.
Especially because of his SOLDIER operations he is already immune to such things. Furthermore the "SOLDIERs in general have JENOVA cells" was a bit ignored in the Compilation, especially for Dirge of Cerberus, making it possible for Weiss' body, the body of a former SOLDIER to function as a pure and not corrupt body of Omega, until Nero corrupted the body.

And the ex SOLDIER that we see in FFVII are already manipulated. We can see the seller in Junon talking about his recent feeling that he has to wear a black cape, et cetera. The Reunion call that Sephiroth starts echoes through.
The one I dont get is Johnny who is somehow meant to be Cloud and Tifa's childhood friend, and he's weird and doesnt even work as a comedy sideline. He doesn't seem to be affected by any of the JENOVA stuff. He could have a thread on his own but....he's not important enough. Zack is a little more integral to the plot.
