'Bullshit Glory Story': Graham Platner Accused ‘Lone Survivor’ Author of ‘Lying’ and Promoting ‘War Porn’: Democrat Says Navy SEAL Used a Ghostwriter Who Made Things Up
It's the latest example of the far-left Senate hopeful smearing his fellow combat veterans, and of his particular antipathy to Special Forces. In a series of deleted Reddit posts in 2013, Platner accused Luttrell of promoting "war porn" in his 2007 book, which was made into a 2013 film starring Mark Wahlberg. Luttrell's memoir was his account of Luttrell on a mission to take out a Taliban militia leader.
