That was my reaction; the photo almost looks like it came off an early computer graphic tablet. Is it a reliable likeness? --

This photo looks extremely doctored -- not by the uploader, but by the Army source. Note the strange skin and eye colors, the different levels of focus, the jagged lines, the unusual lighting, etc. Is it perhaps Army practice to use stock photos when no photo is available, or to colorize or cut and paste existing photos to match the modern format? --M@rēino 16:40, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would guess someone in the army cut it out of a group photo, blew it up, and colored it... But that's just a guess. --Falcorian (talk) 16:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
