Original – A U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter hovers above the ground near a Soviet ZU-23 anti-aircraft weapon prior to picking it up during "Operation Urgent Fury", the U.S. invasion of Grenada in October 1983.

Reason: That time when the United States invaded an island the size of Martha's Vineyard.

Oppose. Bad crop, part of the helicopter blades and gun are chopped off. Sorry. —Bruce1ee^talk 07:10, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
