The tattoo is a red-herring for the fact that Platner “served” at Fallujah, was a torture-camp guard at Abu Ghraib, and worked as a mercenary for Blackwater, long after they were pretty much exclusively known for committing war crimes (and had changed their name to avoid the association with said crimes).
Enlisted in the Marines, the branch where all the serial killers and white supremacists go to. Continued reenlisting in the same baby face shooting branch. Worked as a mercenary in Blackwater because he couldn’t adapt to civie life where he can’t shoot babies in the face anymore. Became a petty bourgeois small business owner because working is boring if you can’t shoot babies in the face.
