Probably guilt, chickenHawks talk a big game about supporting our troops......
............but ask them to enlist and fight and they bolt away like frightened chickens.

Now its "boots on the ground".
If they're looking for monosyllabic and easy to spell I vote "troops"
If they're looking to obfuscate; "boots on the ground" or the equally polysyllabic acronym BOTG is a winner.
If they mean to recognise and honor the full ramifications of sacrifice by citizen, family, friends and treasure I personally feel "soldier" is most appropriate
