Why not Milley for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old soldier, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Milley so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the soldier have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Winchester Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Winchester (Mark Milley's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the soldier was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“#MilleyPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Mark has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 27 Apr 2024

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Mark Milley?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 27 Apr 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Mark Milley?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
