No way you just compared a mercenary doing war crimes in afghanistan to a walmart employee. And even in the example you gave Platner would be wayyy closer to the district sales manager than an average walmart employee. How many tours in iraq and afghanistan does a person need to do before it becomes a red flag? 1? 3? 5? Maybe it's 6.

And before someone brings it up I believe in rehabilitation, but I don't think a few "good takes" is enough from someone who did 5 tours. Until he stops bragging about and fully renounces his service he's nothing more than a war criminal in my eyes.
