What would someone gain out of faking color blindness?  You can't tell by just looking at someones eyes.

Sounds pretty classic red green color blind to me.  There are tests where a person with normal color vision would see one letter and a person with red/green color deficiant vision would see another number.  

Being color blind sucks...I doubt anyone would fake it.

I doubt anyone would fake it.  Most people don't relise they have it until they have been tested.  Also depends what he (it's mostly males)  is.  Blue/blue, or reg/green which is the commonest.
