I'm well aware that the military preys on the vulnerable. I'm also well aware that Planter openly admitted to volunteering not out of desparation, but pleasure. I will not back off when it comes to anti-imperialism, you're throwing the question of US imperialism and settler-colonialism under the rug because the conclusions are damning for your argument. The US Empire must be dismantled.

Further, I am not OP. You are not talking to OP. I raised the points of Platner's participation in US imperialism and war crimes, his Nazi tattoos, and the fact that supporting bourgeois parties will never bring about worker emancipation. Stop bringing up the article like it has anything to do with what I am saying, I was responding to your "vote blue no matter who" claim.
