OK, does anyone else wonder about the main picture in the Shalikashvili obituary in The Times?

OK, how about now?
Sir, Gen. Shalikashvili, sir, are you wearing hearing protection, sir?

Looks like the good general has bested his background neighbor in the rapid-fire drill. Notice that the general is not firing a standard Army pistol, but a smaller weapon. Rank hath its privilege. As for the hearing protection (lack of): In his many years firing every type of weapon, I’ll wager firing that tiny 9mm pistol didn’t do any further harm to his hearing. Great site, Larry, et al!

@Mike: The general was photographed on a 1995 visit to the Czech republic. Notice he goes for the two-handed grip in contrast to his left-handed neighbor.
