John Abizaid

 * Reason:Pretty striking image. Captures the intensity and focus of military men. Not much of a propaganda question with it because Abizaid is no longer in active service. If people like it, there are likely to be other possible noms from this type of image.
 * Proposed caption:General John Abizaid was commander of the U.S. Central Command with responsibility over U.S. military action in the Middle East and North Africa from 2003-2007 during the beginning of the War on Terrorism. He is shown wearing the now obsolete Desert Camouflage Uniform.
 * Articles this image appears in:John Abizaid
 * Creator:US Army

 * Oppose Oh yes, please nominate every military portrait in existence. More Wikipedians' photos please, less US Army. Stevage 01:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you opposing because of who created it? That's not one of the criteria FYI. Debivort 02:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm opposing because there's not much remarkable about a military portrait. I'm *biased* because of who created it. Stevage 03:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool. Debivort 03:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I'm not exactly struck. It's a pretty standard pose and he pulls off a good gruff impression but that's about it. Striking, to me, would be an image of a military commander something more like this or this or even this. (Well, yes, Herr Rommel is more photogenic. But they're better portraits regardless.) --Dhartung | Talk 07:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - bad composition (the left arm is cut off) and low encyclopaedic value.--Svetovid 10:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose per above. -- Chris B  •  talk  14:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I really like this photo. In my opinion, this is the perfect portrait and contributes significantly to its article. Mahahahaneapneap 23:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
