Did Platner just want to kill brown people? That man went for several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was literally a prison guard at Abu Ghraib, he joined the most infamous mercenary outfit of that period of imperialist genocide in the Middle East, i'd be really surprised if he hasn't murdered people himself.
"I was just attracted to military service, so I certainly wasn't gonna miss out on my generation's war."

"[I would've fought in] the Indian Wars, the Phillipines, Haiti and Nicaragua in the 1920's, Vietnam, Nicaragua and El Salvador again in the 80's.
