SOUNDBITE (English) MYERS SAYING: "It's hard to tell when you're with the 101st Airborne up in Mosul in Iraq that they've been there for nine months and had to fight their way through Baghdad to get there. These folks look terrific. They understand the mission. They're confident in the mission. They take care of one another. They look wonderful. And to have them as person of the year or whatever, is just exactly right. The military, in many cases it's the military that stands between the terrorists and their goal. And they're doing a terrific job, and we're probably going to have to use them for some time to come. But America ought to be proud of their military." 11. TWO SHOT 12.
