Timothy McVeigh - video shows he was secretly in military

Okay wait a second back to the eye color thing. A person's eye color may be able to change over time, but eyes as dark as the one's mcveigh had as a kid will never turn into light blue eyes like the one's he had in his Time pictures. Eyes may darken or lighten a shade or two, but never completely change color. I have considered the fact that his eyes may have been very dark blue, but no blue eye is that dark. Can any optometrists elaborate? My neighbour is one so I will try to get his opinion but I'd appreciate any other's as well.

Not an optometrist, but I will say that both eye colors can change, and those were really bad shots of him as a child.

I've watched my father's eye color change from brown-hazel to grey-green as he ages. The melatonin is controlled by DNA, and genes. If the instruction is there for the color to change (usually during a time period like puberty or aging), it will in fact change.

I have light brown eyes. My childhood photos, school shots, tend to show my eyes as almost black. Not the real color. As someone who dabbles in high end photography (stills, headshots, family and glamour), I can light a subject to bring out their eyes. It takes some time, and several lights, but I can bring out the true color of someone's eyes. If I recall correctly, the school photos were a single light source in those days, no time was taken to highlight a face appropriately, and it was snap and go. Also, people who are not professional photographers often get the school contracts because they can do it cheaper. I'd suggest that perhaps the quality of the shots taken compared to the one with the bright blue eyes needs to be considered, as well as post photog touchup (popping the colors is something easily done in PS).

Just a thought.

While I don't have anything to contribute to the eye color debate, I noticed something else I thought was worth mentioning.

To my knowledge, McVeigh was an NCO, meaning at least an E-5/Sergeant, with an honorable discharge. The person in the video, purported to be McVeigh, is an E-4/Specialist.

If that is McVeigh, he was unofficially demoted.

The supposed pic of McVeigh has different ears than the real McVeigh. At the top the real McVeigh's ear is round but the other guys ear is pointy at the top. The other guys ear goes flat under the lobe but the real McVeighs doesnt. Maybe lighting who knows.
