1. So the word "troops" has morphed into meaning all military. So what? Works for me, unless you're addressing a specific branch.

2. Why can't Time ever get it right? While I appreciate them acknowledging our military for a change, why did they only show soldiers and use that name in the title. Guess no one pointed out to them that the WOT involved all branches, including CIA combat operatives. Could they not fit 5 or 6 people in their respective uniforms on the cover?

It was probably too confusing to the poor folks at Time to decide on the right racial and gender mix if they expanded the number of people in the photo. < /sarcasm>

Also, the way the picture was taken, showing the ID of the 1st, (who were among the last to get there), takes credit away from some who have fought and died. The picture was NOT supposed to have shown the ID of the soldier.
