One can find a plethora of fake and photoshopped images of literally any concept imaginable on the Internet, and people are often duped by them.

An image of US Army personnel was recently circulated on Twitter as a joke. It is almost a decade old and was shot somewhere in Parwan, Afghanistan, but netizens have gone berserk over a little detail that seems to have been photoshopped.
Here is the original photo, dated 28 November 2013:

Prime Minister Imran Khan once said, “Partners in peace but not in conflict”. Photoshopped or not, this is true.
