‘Anti-war’ candidate Graham Platner once defended ‘urinating’ on dead Taliban, called war ‘the most enjoyable experience’

The left-wing populist further described war as the “most enjoyable experience of my life” and combat as the “[b]est goddamn thing in the world” in a series of since-deleted Reddit posts from 2013 through 2020 reviewed by The Post. “I find the urinating on bodies as a poor choice, but only because of the current state of media affairs,” Reddit user “P-Hustle,” which CNN traced back to Platner, 41, wrote in a since-deleted July 2013 post on a thread about a Marine getting fined and demoted for urinating on a dead Taliban fighter. The left-wing oyster farmer conveyed similar sentiments in other since-deleted posts, writing in a different post that Marine and Army infantry warfighting was “one hell of an awesome experience,” and in another post describing it as the “Best goddamn thing in the world.”
