    In a personal letter? In years of therapy to repair his mind of the PTSD? In a video apology?

    Yes? That would at least be something. Right now this whole, “actually, he regrets what he did” thing is just typical liberal fanfiction of projecting what you want to be true onto politicians who don’t deserve it. It’s the same shit with “Kamala is secretly pro-Palestine (despite consistently denying it)” line.

    Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it true.

    Probably the best sign of him being progressive is that he didn’t spend longer in Blackwater* after seeing the private military overcharge the govt for services.

    …What? Is that the problem you have with Blackwater?

      Have you been to see him in person? Unfortunately I was sick yesterday so a big crowd didn’t seem like a good idea but I have watched most of his town hall videos on YouTube. Have you watched any?

        I live over a thousand miles away from Maine, so no, I have not seen him in person. And I haven’t watched his town halls, no.

        If you have a clip where he expresses regret about his time as a mercenary, I’d be happy to watch it.
