I read the articles and they were interesting. I think TIME made a good choice this year.
Congratulations all the American soldiers out there for being the persons of the year!

I do not know what Time's criteria is in choosing the POY. If a generic person is permitted then I think the American Soldier is a very good choice. May all the troops be able to return safe and sound to their families soon.

They have had groups of people or strange things like the computers as 'Person of the Year' before.
In 1960 the US scientists' were appointed 'Persons of the Year', and in 1975 it was the American women's turn. In 1950 they appointed the American Fighting-Man 'Person of the Year', which ressembles this year's choice. Yes, I hope Beor will enjoy being the Person of the Year
