OriginalAbdul Haris Nasution at a party in 1977. Nasution was an Indonesian general (one of only three to ever hold the title Jenderal besar) who was twice appointed Army Chief of Staff and who escaped an assassination attempt during the 1965 coup attempt by 30 September Movement. In the 1960s Indonesian newspapers speculated how well he'd do as president, and he was made a National Hero of Indonesia in 2002.
Reason
I've been sitting on this for almost a year, to be honest. This is easily the best image of an Indonesian general we have, but the pose is not as dynamic as some of our portraits. Nonetheless, I think it's time to give it a shot. Decent resolution, sharp, good quality.
