He literally said in a reddit comment that he joined to kill people and even recently he’s only criticized US war mongering as being “pointless” and harmful to US soldiers. He also had a tattoo that sure resembled a Totemkoff (Nazi symbol) and one of his comments shows that he did know of the symbol, so it seems very unlikely he just got it by accident.

So no, it has very little to do with a period of time and everything to do with people having to actually show remorse and not probably being Nazis. I can’t speak to everyone BE is criticizing but he’s very directly criticized specific liberals who are straight up lying about Platner’s past by saying “oh poverty draft”, meanwhile he was EAGER to do it and not even in need of money.

I’m not sure who the other party you’re referring to at the end there is, but again Platner doesn’t even make big claims about regret, his platform is partially about building up the US military, and he’s said hardly a lick about the horrible shit he did to people. Hardly the token guy that we need to redeem, he hasn’t done shit.
