Yeah, that's the comment I was talking about when I said that I don't consider Platner specifically to necessarily be on the right track. He's said that he regrets his time in the US armed forces, so he may regret his reasons for joining as well, but he hasn't articulated that.
Oh, come on. They're lashing out at anyone they can, regardless of how involved they are in the genocide. They're out for revenge, not defense. It's understandable, but it isn't some noble cause. They're Islamist fundamentalists. There's a reason it was Hamas that Israel was propping up to stifle more sympathetic groups.
Is there any evidence that Platner is a rapist? Or are you just assuming that because he's a murderer?
He said he was proud of his time as a mass murderer invading other countries. He never said he regretted it. You are making stuff as you go.
He was a guard at the notorious Abu Graib rape-torture camp. That's on the level of being an Auschwitz guard, except Platner wasn't forced to do it like Nazis were. Graham Platner is worse than a Nazi.
sure thing bro.
this is why the far left isn't taken seriously. brain on liberalism looks downright sane compared to whatever bonkers is running around in that head of yours if you think that crayon eater was worse than a nazi.
Compare yourself to a Republican which have more votes than Liberals while you're at it. Also good job ignoring the entire content of the comment and just trying to ad-hom. I understand why you like Liberalism so much though.
