Why troop instead of man? Easy question.

A gang of men are better equipt to handle a large predator, now mostly
extinct since the ice ages, than a single individual. Its common
social mammal behavior. Check out bison.

This in turn led to the creation of hunting parties which in turn led
to military groups which in turn led to nationalism which in turn led
to imperialism which in turn led to the invasion of Iraq which in turn
led to your current boyfriend problems.

Blame the mammalian portion of man's brain, evolution or God. Take
your pick.
HTH.
