Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-06-15  zanzibar: I believe he is also a member of the NATO forces, and is likely pictured here:

I find his appearance, with long hair and a beard, a little surprising for a member of the military.

Perhaps the French are a little more progressive?

(Is this really him? The prenom/surnom look reversed)

Jan-06-15  zanzibar: Sometimes photographs get reversed, but is he left-handed?

(Photographs are from 2011 NATO ch)

[Update: Definitely left-handed:
