Answer 1

Answer 2

A troop is a military unit, originally a small force of cavalry, subordinate to a squadron and headed by the troop leader. Cavalry soldiers of private rank are called troopers (abbreviated Tpr., not troupers). Today, troop has different specific meanings in different armed forces.

When President said 21,500 troops, it is used as a verb "To move in numbers; to come or gather in crowds or troops"

Answer 3

Troop is a number of soldiers grouped together. Not sure the count. So 21,500 means roughly 1/2 million or more soldiers.

Answer 4

"Troops" is a misnomer. It is a mis use of the word. It is too difficult for the main stream media types to say "military personnel" or "persons in the military." One "troop" means one person doing military service of some sort. Everyone from infantry to doctors and nurses in uniform are part of the "troops."

Answer 5

Mind boggling: that means that he will be sending 21,500 soldiers or other military personnel (people). This equals troops.

Questions like this make me seriously question the education system in this country. As for spelling...OMG

Answer 6

Wow...most useless question I've seen here. You can't really be serious?

But one 'troop' would = one soldier, one sailor, one marine, or one airman. The term soldier is generally specific to the Army.
