A routine television appearance by a former United States Navy SEAL commander has spiralled into bizarre online speculation about his identity. Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward was invited on air to discuss foreign policy, but viewers quickly became distracted by what they claimed were strange anomalies on his face and neck.
He was brought on as an expert to break down the current tensions between the US and Iran. However, the geopolitical discussion was soon overshadowed by viral claims that he was wearing a prosthetic disguise on air.
