Lets get 2 things straight....

Goon is short for Gooney bird the nickname of the C-47.

Drunk is the nickname for a paratrooper/troop which rides in a C-47.

No, you don't have goons inbound you have a goon inbound that which contains troops. Unless ofcourse you are not the only C-47 that is inbound.

So, to summarize, a goon is not a troop.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled BBS flamewars.
:D

A TOWN is the group of buildings a short distance away from a field where you drop drunks off to capture the field.

A CITY is the group of buildings, usually in the middle of nowhere, that if bombed affect the resupply of the factories.

The ship that leads the Task Force Group is a CA Heavy Cruiser not a BB (or BS as some people call it) Battleship.
