Don't be so disappointed. The American soldiers are led by their commander-in-chief, George W. Bush. So in a way, he's included. And besides, the military and the American people know the truth, don't we :-)?

"generic 'soldiers' and not Bush"

is probably the way humble Bush would want it!

True, I'm not disappointed really.

It's better than Dean!

"The American soldiers ARE LED by their commander-in-chief, George W. Bush"

"ARE LED" are the key words here! Folks we got a leader in the WH. He may not always be right, but he sure isn't afraid to step out and lead. BTW have you read the article in the latest Readers Digest about Laura? Well done!

"You mean it better be Bush."

===

That's how I feel. It better be Bush.

But knowing Time Mag, as you say, it could be Saddam or Kadafi or even Kim Jung Il.

I'd like to see the American GI but it could be Bush again. Both great choices.

I don't agree. Our President would be delighted if Time chose to salute our military.

Please remove the ? in my thread title.

It appears it is the GI's.. But I'm not 100% sure yet, it's a buried pic on time's site.

It can't be. They don't have a woman soldier on the cover.

It must be an out-of-date page as it only lists MOY thru 2001.

My suggestion to Time Magazine is"

BUSH = Man of the year.
The United States Armed Forces = Men of all the years
The United States Marine Expeditionary Force = The Best that every was.

The original URL is out of date. The whistler blowers were 2002. The 03 picture appears to be a buried real image of this year's cover.

While clearly the GI's are heroes, but Man of the Year is supposed to be ONE MAN, who had the most impact.

Putting a class of people on, is really a cop out.

They can have an issue of "Heroes of the Year", where this year it would be the GI-s, in 2001, the Firefighters and Police, etc.

But Man of the Year is supposed to be the MAN (or woman) of the year.
