I was ready to go H.A.M. on Time for copping out and condescending to American audiences, mushing together the brutal visceral reality that is war and political dissent into one puffy word-clouded (neutralized) “protester”—the “You” of 2011—until a quick Google set me straight.

- 1950: The American Fighting Man
- 1956: The Hungarian Freedom Fighter
- 1960: American Scientists

- 2003: The American soldier
- 2006: You
- 2011: The protester
