    With respect. This is exactly the wrong take on Platner. He has never renounced his past service to the US military. He regrets only the particular boondoggle he directly participated in (so-called war on terror), not as a systemic critique but a strategic critique which embraces the system.

    Platner is a progressive face on US imperialism. He advocates for better veteran healthcare and has apologized only for uncouth comments he made about fellow soldiers. Leftist candidates have no business campaigning on pro-military stance.

    Platner is radioactive and there is no reason to accept Platner in any capacity
