Sidney Shachnow - US Army Special Forces commander, Ashkenazi ancestry.

[Lamoral]

I follow military history and quite avidly, due to my many friends who are veterans or service members, and the Special Operations community recently has been saddened by the death of Maj. General Sidney Shachnow, who was a major figure in the Army Green Berets with 3 tours in Vietnam. He was born in Lithuania to Jewish family, which would suggest full Ashkenazi ancestry though it may have been influenced by mixing with local populations somewhere back in the family tree. He doesn't look Baltic though, nor stereotypically Ashkenazi. If I had to guess his ancestry just on his phenotype I'd say maybe a mix of German and Greek.

My classification guess would be Alpine+CM+minor Dinarid. Am I close?

Yes looks Central European to me too.

Good to find out he's a Trump supporter too

The vast majority of the Military supports Trump.

A typical White American to me.

Americans military (in my cliche) tend to rely too much on their impressive technology, but with often with a “cowboy” mentality (shoot everything that moves ) this in combination with the high texhnology sometimes lead them into panic and cause friendly fire.
This is just an opinion from a non expert, I believe that other nationalities too would do the same if they had America’s military power. But is just what I perceive from news, books, films etc.

Somewhat resembles one of my great-uncles. Alpino-CM and Dinarid mix.
