Did Platner just want to kill brown people? That man went for several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was literally a prison guard at Abu Ghraib, he joined the most infamous mercenary outfit of that period of imperialist genocide in the Middle East, i'd be really surprised if he hasn't murdered people himself.

"I was just attracted to military service, so I certainly wasn't gonna miss out on my generation's war."

"I wanted to play soldier"

"[I would've fought in] the Indian Wars, the Phillipines, Haiti and Nicaragua in the 1920's, Vietnam, Nicaragua and El Salvador again in the 80's. As for would have, I 'did' for Iraq and would love to get to the Ghan. Small wars are pretty enjoyable. It's the big ones, with days of artillery fire and inhuman brutality that take the fun out of fighting"

yea

notice how he doesn't say he would've fought against nazi germany

To be fair (and, to be further fair, being fair really isn't warranted, for him), he did say he liked small wars; I feel like the sequel to the Great War doesn't qualify as a small war, by any measure.

That said, not like that detail explains away the Totenkopf, by any means.

I honestly thought the whole thing about him wanting to kill brown people was an exaggeration but no, the more I read about him, I’m more convinced he actually enjoyed murdering Iraqi and Afghan civilians. He allegedly said he’d r*pe someone if they broke into their house, just to establish a sense of dominance. This dude is fucking depraved, even amongst libs.

This dude is fucking depraved

He 100% has. He talked openly about how much he loved combat.

[–] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He went back how many times, and also talked about how much he enjoyed it. There's a 99% chance he's murdered at least one civilian.

Yeah, i've seen his quotes about the "fun" of "small scale wars", the only way he has not murdered somebody is that he can't aim for shit.
