Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner says his six months in Afghanistan in 2018 as a State Department security contractor revealed how America’s wars had become “a corporate money-grab.” He clarified he never worked for Erik Prince’s Blackwater but for a hedge-fund-owned successor that inherited its State Department contracts. “They used guys like me with these backgrounds to meet the contract requirements so they could pay us bare minimum and walk away with the balance.”
Platner said his job mostly involved driving for the U.S. ambassador’s security team. “We were barely leaving the Green Zone… All I did was lift weights and play video games. I got huge and I played a lot of Far Cry,” he said.
He quit after six months and went home to farm oysters.
Like, you’re telling me if you saw a guy with that tattoo in the gym the first thing that comes to mind is not “damn, that looks like some Nazi shit”?
Like, I’m not saying people need to know the exact symbol and name. But, come on, you watch one WW2 documentary and you should be able to put that together. That shit was all over.
Like, did you forget to take your ritalin today? C’mon yo!
I’m gonna guess you’re just projecting or something. Either that; or you’re hallucinating. Good luck mate.
Me hallucinating? I’m not the one on meds. Have a nice day.
