troops
An army is an organized body of men armed for war, ordinarily considerable in numbers, always independent in organization so far as not to be a constituent part of any other command. Organization, unity, and independence, rather than numbers are the essentials of an army. We speak of the invading army of Cortes or Pizarro, tho either body was contemptible in numbers from a modern military standpoint. We may have a little army, a large army, or a vast army. Host is used for any vast and orderly assemblage; as, the stars are called the heavenly host. Multitude expresses number without order or organization; a multitude of armed men is not an army, but a mob. Legion (from the Latin) and phalanx (from the Greek) are applied by a kind of poetic license to modern forces; the plural legions is preferred to the singular. Military is a general word for land-forces; the military may include all the armed soldiery of a nation, or the term may be applied to any small detached company, as at a fort, in distinction from civilians. Any organized body of men by whom the law or will of a people is executed is a force; the word is a usual term for the police of any locality.

How to use troops in a sentence?
I want to get out, i want to bring our troops back home. It's time.
We owe it to our troops serving abroad, troops who are engaged in war even as we think about recessing and leaving Washington on Dec. 11 for the holidays, to do our job and to have a debate and vote about the war that our Constitution demands.
The govt changed the interpretation of the constitution last year, which in itself is against the constitution. 200-300 experts have said that this is unconstitutional. for the last 70 years Japan has been known as a pacifist nation, it hasn't sent troops outside (of the country) expect in humanitarian roles. This (proposed change) is against the way our security policy has been set up, it will damage the way Japanese people and country is viewed. It will damage the view of Japanese as a diplomatic nation.
There is a lot on the line here. There's no stomach for Americans to go to war against Russia in a situation where a lot of people just don't follow that closely at this moment, the video is obviously dramatic and what's happening is tragic, but no one wants to send American troops in at this point. And that's a good thing.
This is about consequences, we need answers on how this decision was reached, whether there was an alternative and whether the President has thought through the consequences in particular for American lives and not just the troops who are on planes going to the Middle East right now, but United States citizens around the world whose lives may be at risk, because of the fallout from this action. Until we get answers on that, then this move is questionable to say the least.
