Time Person of the Year: American soldier
The last time they selected the American soldier was during the Korean war. Certainly they have a rough job. An excellent selection.

That's just annoying. You can't have a group of people be Person of the Year. And if they do this now, what's it going to mean in the next war? That the American soldiers weren't good enough? And what happens when they don't choose the American Populace In General?

Person = 1 person

I like that. I want to be included in person of the year. vote for american populace dammit!

I was in the military- but I'm not longer in the military. So technically I am not man of the year.

But that won't stop me from telling women I was man of the year in 2003.

Not that I recall.

They've done it in the past.

Last year's Person of the Year was "the whistleblowers," IIRC.

They've also named the personal computer as the person of the year.

here are the group man of the year awards. And one of them are women . Younger generation? Now I understand why modern man of the year awards are ridiculous.

TIME has sometimes named a group of people for its Man of the Year. In 1950, it was the American Fighting-Man. Hungarian Freedom Fighters (1956) and U.S. Scientists (1960) followed. In 1966, however, TIME named an entire generation, those 25 years of age and younger around the world. "That generation looms larger than all the exponential promises of science or technology: It will soon be the majority in charge," TIME reported. TIME would later honor Middle Americans (1969) and American Women (1975).

yeah, dopey bush won in 2001... I don't see how being the Commander in Chief during the worst NATIONAL SECURITY FAILURE in the history of America makes you Person of the Year material... but hey, that's just me.

Oh yeah, I'm also glad Paris Hilton didn't get it.

Pitifully pathetic.

EDIT: And to make sure everyone knows about the end of racial segregation, a nice smiling nigger on the left to represent social integration and the end of the ghettos.

I expect the Time to sell more with such a Person of the Year, than if they had chosen Aung San Suu Kyi or something.

No, they propably don't even know when they provoke.
But it's for internal consumption mostly. Time Europe is a different magazine alltogether (to hope to survive in Europe)
