• Support as nominator – Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:40, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. Bad crop, part of the helicopter blades and gun are chopped off. Sorry. —Bruce1ee^talk 07:10, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose – tight crop per Bruce1ee (also the peaceful setting doesn't suggest a military operation is in progress, other images in that article better project a military conflict). Bammesk (talk) 16:06, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
