    Yeah I basically agree with you here about your comrades based on the information you have given me, but the thing is you’re implicitly conditioning your judgement of your comrades on their behavior after their K tours, I was implicitly (and now explicitly) conditioning my judgement about Platner on his four tours and Blackwater employment plus his behavior after that. Like I know people can change, IMO that is the thesis of my worldview, but Platner has not provided sufficient evidence that he has changed for the better. Furthermore, someone doing K > 1 tours is not just an ordinary evil thing, it’s an incredibly evil thing, so forgive me if it takes a lot lot lot of good to be done before I start to consider their debt to humanity paid off.
