Graham Platner\u2019s victory this week in Maine\u2019s Democratic Senate primary would have been a stunning achievement for a political newcomer under any circumstances. What makes it truly remarkable is that Platner pulled this off despite a decades-long trail of questionable behavior: a Nazi tattoo; contemptible written statements about sexual-abuse victims, Black people, and women; admissions of past substance abuse and marital infidelity; allegations of demeaning, disturbing, and physically threatening behavior toward former girlfriends. (Platner has denied any physical intimidation or violence.)<\/p>\n

Platner and his surrogates have rolled out a catch-all excuse, meant not only to clarify how he could have made so many bad decisions, but also to shame people who criticize him: Platner, a Marine Corps veteran, was dealing with the heavy emotional burden and mental toll of the wars this nation sent him to fight. It\u2019s not his fault. And he\u2019s a better person now.<\/em><\/p>\n

But that argument\u2014and I say this as a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars\u2014is nonsense, a convenient answer intended to divert the conversation from legitimate questions about Platner\u2019s many flaws. It plays on Americans\u2019 sympathy for those who have fought in war and overplays the distinction between veterans and civilians. Whether this justification is used cynically or sincerely\u2014or ignorantly\u2014it is insulting to veterans. Many of them suffer from their time in combat but don\u2019t engage in the kind of behavior that Platner has. And many of them\u2014despite, or because of, their wartime experience\u2014are among our nation\u2019s most accomplished, ethical, hardworking, and patriotic citizens and leaders.<\/p>\n

Let me put this as plainly as possible: I know quite literally hundreds of combat veterans and the soldiers I fought with, to my knowledge, all somehow managed to avoid getting Nazi tattoos. It doesn\u2019t take much effort to avoid being inked with an SS symbol.<\/p>\n

Platner himself has said repeatedly that much of his bad behavior stemmed from his war experience. \u201cI\u2019ve been very up front since the beginning of this campaign that that was a pretty dark period of my life after I came back from my combat service,\u201d he recently told MS NOW\u2019s Chris Hayes, admitting to \u201cnot being a good boyfriend\u201d and \u201cself-medicating with alcohol.\u201d He has spoken about having PTSD and, in an interview with The New York Times<\/em>, described an incident in which his friend was badly injured when their vehicle got hit by an IED in Iraq. The morning after his primary win, Platner said that he had only started to feel like himself again in 2021, and added, \u201cI wake up every single morning just trying to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than the way I was before.\u201d<\/p>\n

His surrogates echo this defense, which plays into the dangerous and condescending stereotype of American veterans as broken people. Speaking at a Platner rally a few days before the primary, Representative Ro Khanna acknowledged that some of Platner\u2019s past relationships were \u201ctoxic and volatile,\u201d before pivoting to: \u201cBut we need to have an honest conversation in this country. We broke thousands of young men by sending them into dumb wars.\u201d Senator Chris Van Hollen has defended Platner, saying, \u201cLet\u2019s take a couple issues, including the comments he\u2019s made in the past. I mean, he\u2019s been very clear that he went into combat on behalf of the United States. He went through a really rough period, PTSD-type period.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to this logic, Platner is not responsible for his own actions. The burdens he carries excuse things he has done over the course of two decades\u2014in the military, after returning to civilian life, and apparently up until he decided to run for Senate.<\/p>\n

Some of these defenses are well-intentioned. They suggest an admiration for the sacrifices that veterans have made. Perhaps some civilians feel unqualified to judge people who have served and who may well still experience the effects of their time overseas. The chasm between those who have been in combat and those who\u2019ve only watched news of it is massive and growing: A smaller percentage of Americans served in the global War on Terror than in any other major war over the past century. This can lead some civilians to be overly deferential to veterans, who are, after all, human.<\/p>\n

But showing respect to the point of refusing to judge someone\u2019s questionable actions is a version of what George W. Bush called \u201cthe soft bigotry of low expectations.\u201d Some Americans seem to view Afghanistan and Iraq veterans almost as an alien species, whose experiences cannot be understood and who therefore have a separate set of expectations. This attitude reduces an incredibly diverse group of individuals to the \u201cbroken veteran\u201d clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n

In some cases, Platner supporters who are veterans themselves have tried to lend credibility to this explanation. In a Substack essay published shortly before the primary, Daniel Barkhuff, the founder of Veterans for Responsible Leadership, a super PAC that endorsed Platner, wrote: \u201cHe said dumb things. He did dumb things.\u201d Platner, Barkhuff added, seems to have \u201cthe sort of impulsive aggressiveness that is curated and encouraged in ground combat units where 99% of your problems can be solved by getting more violent and faster than the other guy. None of that is hidden, and none of it needs to be excused.\u201d Barkhuff explained that he himself has used offensive language in online arguments. But that analogy doesn\u2019t amount to much of a defense of Platner, whose troubling history goes well beyond a few bad words.<\/p>\n

Platner and his supporters frequently talk about his personal story as one of redemption and recovery after his time at war. \u201cGraham clearly made a mistake. What I appreciated about him is he owned that mistake. He took responsibility for it,\u201d Representative Seth Moulton said in reference to Platner\u2019s tattoo. But has he owned his mistakes? Although Platner claims that he didn\u2019t know the significance of his Nazi Totenkopf <\/em>tattoo, others have disputed this. His former campaign political director said that Platner \u201cknows damn well what it means.\u201d A former romantic partner, Lyndsey Fifield, told The New York Times<\/em> that Platner had referred to the tattoo years ago as \u201cmy Totenkopf<\/em>.\u201d When Hayes asked Platner about a text in which Fifield referred to the \u201cNazi tattoo on his chest\u201d before the tattoo became public, Platner responded, \u201cWell, she certainly didn\u2019t send that text to me.\u201d His denial proved even more absurd when an unnamed second former romantic partner told The New York Post<\/em> that she\u2019d had a conversation with Platner about the tattoo and its Nazi meaning in 2021, and shared screenshots demonstrating her awareness of the tattoo prior to the public disclosure.<\/p>\n

In reaction to a New York Times<\/em> story in which Fifield alleged that Platner had grabbed her, pushed her, and twisted her arm, Platner denied not only that behavior but also that he and Fifield had ever dated, despite contemporaneous texts and social-media posts suggesting that they had been in a relationship. Platner\u2019s campaign has also attacked Fifield, who has been active in conservative circles, as a political operative, though the Times <\/em>found no evidence that Fifield was acting on Collins\u2019s behalf. Part of redemption is accounting for one\u2019s faults, and targeting the people who bear witness to those faults is not accountability\u2014it\u2019s defensiveness. When Morning Joe<\/em>\u2019s Mika Brzezinski recently asked Platner whether additional controversies might come out, Platner said, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing out there that\u2019s actually<\/em> concerning. People will make everything seem very concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have seen veterans deal with the very real stresses of America\u2019s long wars\u2014physical wounds as well as psychological ones that linger after witnessing death and carnage, or coming close to it oneself. The separation from home, family, and social networks to deploy to high-stress and high-risk environments, repeated cyclically over the course of decades, took a toll on every veteran of the War-on-Terror generation\u2014whether they deployed once or a dozen times, whether they were directly in harm\u2019s way or far from the explosions. Many veterans have sunk into substance abuse or engaged in questionable personal behavior, and I can understand why. Some no doubt have felt the need to \u201ccut loose,\u201d and we shouldn\u2019t be surprised that the kinds of people who sign up to exit an aircraft mid-flight might also have a high risk tolerance in their personal lives.<\/p>\n

But even if Platner\u2019s pattern of behavior isn\u2019t unique, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s representative of the experiences or choices of the great majority of people who have served. And if all veterans who have suffered or stumbled deserve help and treatment, that doesn\u2019t mean their hardship is a blanket excuse for immoral behavior. Everyone is responsible for the choices they make. That\u2019s a lesson we learn in the military.<\/p>\n

Anyone who claims that this kind of baggage is the cost of getting \u201cregular\u201d people\u2014and specifically veterans\u2014to run for office doesn\u2019t realize how smug and out of touch that claim is. This argument implies that veterans are all a bunch of drunks with a history of contemptible beliefs and actions. We can\u2019t claim to pay tribute to veterans while holding them to such low standards. This logic also ignores the many veterans who have entered public life without such questionable pasts.<\/p>\n

Veterans are a part of American society, and many will continue to run for public office. But their status as veterans, though an important component of their story, should never excuse decisions they have made. Nor should veteran candidates use their service as automatic proof of their worthiness for office. If a candidate wishes to make his wartime service an essential part of why voters should select him, then he should highlight the traits he wishes to bring to the office, not dismiss the traits he wishes them to ignore.<\/p>\n
