On an aircraft carrier, you have “sailors,” not troops.

(Also, a “troop” in the singular is a group of people. See [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-are-marines-us-not-soldiers/1023254/129).)

And the reason this is in the BBQ Pit is because this particular “hard situation” was caused by shitty planning at the top.
