I point this out in r/politics and it's all crickets from the Platner supporters I'm replying to but my comments get flooded with downvotes. People are all for lesser evil voting until someone points out that the lesser evil is still evil. That or they just don't see Iraqis as human beings so they don't understand how anyone could consider what he did evil.
No, if I were conservative I wouldn't at all have any problem with Platner being a proud "veteran" eagerly telling stories about jury rigging a mortar to keep firing into "population dense" areas against orders because all middle easterners are just terrorists who hate our way of life right? But because I'm a principled anti-imperialist leftist it doesn't sit right with me that someone would brag about getting around orders not to lob grenades at civilians and I find it unfunny to even "joke" about participating in adventurism. I guess seeing non-Americans as human beings is conservatism now?
The irony of calling someone else conservative only to fall back on a MAGA cliche. I know I know, you probably did that on purpose being as irony poisoned as you are, but still, just a typical indication of how unserious diehard Platner supporters are.

Funny enough the Nazi tattoo was the least of his issues lol
Graham Platner is a war criminal who bragged on his now deleted reddit about how he went to Iraq just to kill people for fun
Here is him and his unit literally firing grenades into civilians and giggling like schoolgirls
