Pretty sure the witches and wizards are taking over the Navy too... JK. How did he get to rank of Captain with those beliefs though?

Did a quick search and according to DuckAI he served as a captain and specialized in explosive ordnance disposal and salvage diving. He participated in operational deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia before retiring in 2021.

While serving as a Navy diver, Hung Cao suffered a serious diving-related incident that caused oxygen deprivation and brain injury; he has spoken publicly about experiencing permanent effects from that injury.

Could be just a coincidence or might explain strange thinking. He could have thought that way before, who knows? I only did a very shallow search. Have not looked for his public statement on the injury.
