The camera, lighting, position of the heads are not consistent. Its the same bullshit you see on advertisements that hawk wrinkle removing crap. I'm sure the stress of being deployed has a physical effect on ones appearance. But this example is garbage. If you have light being cast directly in your eyes you're going to squint/ grimace/ frown. You can see the reflection of the light in their eyes.
