Round 9: Tossup 15

Photos of people in this profession may have accidentally been melted in a drying cabinet by Larry Burrows. (15[1])Ira Hayes was one of several people with this job shown smiling in the “Gung-Ho” shot. It’s not sports-related, but members of this profession known as The Magnificent Eleven were photographed (15[1]-5[1])by (*) Robert Capa, who probably staged a photo (10[2])showing a “falling” [person with this job]. (10[3])Robert F. Sargent depicted people with this job proceeding Into the Jaws of Death from a Higgins boat. Joe Rosenthal (10[1])photographed people with this job on top of Mount Suribachi. For 10 points, Americans in what profession were depicted Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima in 1945? ■END■

ANSWER: American soldiers [accept paratroopers or marines; accept The Falling Soldier]
