bodyguard at the fucking Abu-Ghraib

No he wasn't, his unit did a one-time patrol in the vicinity of the prison when it was attacked in 2005 (still a horrendous act defending that death camp) but he wasn't stationed there, nor was he one of the torturers; it was simply notable because it was his first combat experience.

He was a bodyguard who worked for a successor subsidiary of Blackwater for an ambassador in the embassy in Kabul, and that six-month experience supposedly radicalized him

doesn't even pretend to be repentant about it.

Except he routinely does pretend to be repentant about it, this right here is the disconnect, you ultras wants us to join the great anti-Platner crusade, as if he's the greatest threat to the left in this country, but you can't even get basic facts about this asshole correct, and the rest of us are just supposed to pretend like you all don't have egg on your face.

Like, why do I have more accurate information about this cracker when you're the ones so up in arms? Sorry, but your unseriousness is showing
