    I see he was deployed at those times (not that he participated necessarily), don’t see anything about Abu Graib, and yes obviously he joined Blackwater. That doesn’t mean those things aren’t true obviously.

    The woman did provide proof.

    I just want to know what’s real and not the worst possible made up scenario.

          Platner went to the United States Marine Corps School of Infantry and deployed to Iraq in 2005. “It was a relatively calm deployment for the first few months, mostly because the Battle of Fallujah just happened, and much of the insurgent activity in the area had been crushed in that fight,” he told me. Later, while he was on patrol at Abu Ghraib, there was an attack on the prison.

          Platner said he killed the people trying to free people who were being tortured.

          I’m going to report you for using the word “interrogates” instead of “tortures” though.
