In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, the private military company formerly known as Blackwater, where he provided diplomatic security to the US ambassador to Afghanistan.

Sound more like a six month stint as a bodyguard.

Yes, a bodyguard working for a fascist death squad.
