"NEW YORK - The American soldier, who bears the duty of "living with and dying for a country's most fateful decisions," was named Sunday as Time magazine's Person of the Year."

Great issue!
Great People!
Three cheers for the American GI!

You can tell the brains at Time responsible for this never served in the armed forces of the United States of America.

Supposedly what Time means by "The American Soldier":

well there realy the personof the all time i have somuch respect for are men and women in service and are vets

I have that issue. Hey, that's a black MiniMag on Specialist Billie Grimes' vest (the soldier in the center). You can also see another black MiniMag being used by PFC Joshua Linton to search a drawer on page 46 (you can see the yellow-orange beam too). Sorry, it's the flashaholic in me.

That's a Surefire 6-volt Model "M16" (weaponlight) on the soldier's rifle on the right, and you can also see if you look closely, the pressure-pad switch's line running back to the forearm heatshields. The Surefire M16 It's essentially a modified 6P, with shock-isolated Z32 bezel, barrel-clamp mount, and the modified tailcap which incorporates a master on/off flag switch, and also the instant-on/pressure-pad switch.

It's the same clamped-on model (attached to barrel under the front sight) you see in my sigline graphic. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
