THE PENTAGON — Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno placed third in an Odierno lookalike contest, sources confirmed today.

The event, held Friday afternoon, was held as part of a “Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers” outreach festival on the Pentagon lawn, and included concerts by The Black Keys and Robert Earl Keen. Attendees munched on hot dogs and nachos and collected flyers for singles events such as rock climbing, mud runs and paintball matches.
