You know, the pair of you are something.

Before I tell you what complete broadbrushing twats you are being, would you please tell me whether or not when you say "Americans", you are speaking of the military or Americans in general? Thank you.

Thank you for clarifying that. I've overlooked your explanations, clearly. I admit to mainly only reading samplings of your more recent missives since my joining. Perhaps making that distinction in every post would be asking too much, but would cut down on confusion for us "Privates."

According to their website, Time has the following criteria:
TIME's choices for Person of the Year are often controversial. Editors are asked to choose the person or thing that had the greatest impact on the news, for good or ill—guidelines that leave them no choice but to select a newsworthy—not necessarily praiseworthy—cover subject.
Might have just as easily been Brittany Spears. Bet she's heartbroken. :twisted:
