As a soldier, Platner might have a few ounces of blood on his hands. As a former admiral, Lacore has pools worth. Just saying.
EDIT: I’d argue that Platner is one of the truest representations of the American man. PTSD. Reformed (hopefully) racist Reddit edgelord. Had a hard time adjusting after being chewed up and spit out by the military machine. Now he’s older and angry. In his case, he seems to have chosen the progressive path while many (most?) others have chosen fascism to deal with their damage.
Platner still supports the military and wants to increase benefits and amp up recruitment. I don’t think he really cares about what he did or saw over there. I’m not saying people shouldn’t vote for him or that he’s lying about PTSD or anything, but I often see people suggest progressive policies equate to anti militarism but it’s just not the case in this situation at least.
I have no way to determine who did what when, but I think if he really was reformed his policy on the military would be much different.
I hear what you are saying, and I agree that he is definitely promilitary. What I was trying to get to though is that he is far more representative of the population than a great majority of the “personalities” constantly being sent to the hill.
On a personal note, I think we should force the military to use a significantly larger share of their budget on active and post-active care. It isn’t right to break someone down and then expect them to fix themselves, and reintegrate back into society. We take advantage of the poor and patriotic, eat them up, and expect them to be fine. It’s a doomed system.
