Wartime beer opener

'In 2003 I was on an assignment for La Prensa in Waspan Nicaragua', photographer Ryan Conaty said on C.J. Chivers' website. 'A representative from the World Bank was there to talk to folks about their goat herding. Some soldiers had been sent along to keep an eye on him and when he was done with his presentation they were to give us a ride to our next stop. In preparation for the long ride over dirt roads we packed a cooler of beer but we’d forgotten a bottle opener. As we tried to figure out a solution one of the solders (who’d clearly encountered the problem before) realized our situation, picked up his rifle and called us over. I’ve attached the picture I took of our savior with his AK in action.' (Thanks to Ryan for the permission to use this picture)
