What was his name again?
The Lethal Accountant there is often confused for Mike Vining, but I believe it's been confirmed that it's not him, but another Delta Force member of that period.
~~Well that pic is straight out of an article about him, linked from his Wikipedia page~~

Edit: I'm wrong, never trust the internet, see below

Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf with security detail during the Persian Gulf War, 1991. The man at right is regularly credited as being Vining, but in actuality it’s one of Vining’s former colleagues, Bill Cronin III. US Army photo by Staff Sgt. Dean Wagner.
“That photo is actually Bill and two other guys from The Unit, Craig Maxim and Norm Crawford,” Vining says. “I was doing something completely different at the time they were running that security detail.”
Never trust the internet, as they say. Thanks!
