It’s a damning indictment of the author more so than the intended victim. In other words, it says more about knob issuing the insult than the poor b*stard the knob was attempting to insult. We are talking about delicate jerk Graham Platner and Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, known as the “Lone Survivor”. Am I being too obtuse? Sorry. Maine Senate Candidate Platner also known as “P-Hustle” dragged the Navy Seal for using a ghostwriter and writing “war porn”.

Today, is the Maine Primary. We can only pray that Susan Collins wins the general. It sounds like Mr. Graham needs a lot more help than he has gotten. He shouldn’t be running around unsupervised. This description comes from The Washington Free Beacon:

In a series of deleted Reddit posts in 2013, Platner accused Luttrell of promoting “war porn” in his 2007 book, which was made into a 2013 film starring Mark Wahlberg. Luttrell’s memoir was his account of Luttrell on a mission to take out a Taliban militia leader. Luttrell’s three SEAL comrades were killed during the mission, known as Operation Red Wings. Luttrell alone survived after being rescued by Pashtun villagers in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan.

More from the Free Beacon and Platner:

Platner, who served in the Marine Corps and the Army, has a penchant for smearing his fellow soldiers in arms. In a 2013 post, he mocked Army private Teddy Daniels, who was seen on video being shot by Taliban fighters, calling Daniels a “dumb motherf—er [who] didn’t deserve to live.” Daniels, who survived, responded late last month, calling the self-styled working-class oysterman “a typical elitist.”

Platner also accused the late Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL author of American Sniper (who was played by Bradley Cooper in the 2014 Clint Eastwood film) of murdering innocent civilians during the Iraq war in order to inflate his kill numbers.

I am not a psychologist but I do have a couple college survey courses under my belt. Graham Platner sounds jealous. People are not recognizing his valor as a Marine and a soldier and he wants recognition.

I believe its called the “hamster wheel of recognition”. That would explain being in both the Marines and Army. From Wikipedia:

Born and raised in coastal Maine, Platner enlisted in the Marine corps after graduating from high school. He served eight years, including three combat tours in Iraq as a Marine and one in Afghanistan with the Maryland Army National Guard. After his military service, he worked as a State Department security contractor in Afghanistan before returning to Maine and entering the oyster farming business. From there, he took over an operation in 2020, and became active in local government before announcing his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in August 2025.

That would all seem normal and average except for the ragging on people recognized as heroes. I am blessed to know a lot of heroes. They do not need to denigrate other heroes to raise themselves up. Free Beacon again:

“[Kyle’s] stories about how many people he was shooting certainly tracked with the behavior I witnessed [in Ramadi],” Platner said in a 2024 podcast, the Washington Free Beacon reported. “It’s relatively easy to get high numbers like that if you’re a little less discriminating in your fire than, say, a more professional unit would be.”

Platner was deployed to Ramadi at the same time as Kyle and his SEAL team in 2006, though he said he did not know who Kyle was until years later. Kyle, one of the most prolific combat snipers in history, was killed in 2012 in Texas by a fellow Marine veteran with PTSD whom he was mentoring.

Platner bristled at the narrative that Kyle and his SEAL unit, known as Task Unit Bruiser, are now portrayed as war heroes.

“I almost felt like there was like a weird practical joke being played on me by the war that, like all these years later, I’m like, having to like… People are telling me like ‘Oh, look how great this guy is, these guys are amazing heroes,’ this whole incredible thing,” said Platner. “The paragon of leadership, and I’m just sitting there like, ‘Am I living in like an alternate reality?’ Because this is the exact opposite of my experience.”

Platner is PISSED that he has not been recognized as a hero. He is the glory chaser. Hence, he drags Chris Kyle and Marcus Luttrell.

Teddy Daniels, another veteran dragged by Pete Hustle, doesn’t consider him to be much of anything. Graham Platner owes every Gold Star Family an apology.

Nazi tattoo, creepy Kik account, dragging his fellow veterans. This guy is so scummy, and he is infecting the entire Democrat party.
