Graham Platner said he joined the marines to kill people, and had an excellent experience doing so.

Thats literally the title. Him being a serial murderer is what this post is about. You just keep trying to distract from it and then blame people for "shifting the goalposts".

Also if he is not a supporter of the war in Iraq why did go on tour there like 4 times??

Why did he devise a method to use mk19 grenade launchers to evade detection by command after being ordered to stop using mortars in high density urban areas in Iraq. https://xcancel.com/BenMcCombe/status/1982083117709176945

Im literally just responding to the question asked about iraq.

Also if he is not a supporter of the war in Iraq why did go on tour there like 4 times??

I dont think soldiers get a huge say in where they are sent. While i personally am not willing to do that kind of a job, it is a" job" for a heck of a lot of people and not really going to drive away voters in Maine.

I dont really see a ton of people defending the guy to begin with. Believing hes changed yes, overlooking problematic past yes, but im not seekng people defending his "wanting to kill" or trying to say nazi tattoos are acceptable.

Its just bizarre to me how much some people who clearly have no dog in the fight care so damn much about this guy.

Do you not realize this helps get his name out there and will be totally irrelevant by the time that primary happens? Or is that the intent here, get the bad stuff out of the way early so on six months everyone has moved on?
