"Service men"? Makes it sound like they are in the peace corps or missionaries. How about "soldier"?

    servicemen is all branches. soldiers is army, airmen is airforce, etc. they are using precise legal language for the US military. it's literally the word they chose like, two hundred years ago i think?
