I hunted deer in the “Big Woods” in Maine while staying at my uncle’s hunting lodge after I returned from Vietnam serving with the Marines, which brings me to senatorial candidate Graham Platner.

Marine Platner is a disloyal disgrace to the Corps who violated his sworn oath to defend the United States. He and his ilk of socialist/communists have no business running our country. They are committing treason thinking that they have a right under the First Amendment to defy everything our country stands for.

There are 58,000-plus dead military personnel who fought the communists and paid the ultimate price and many more of us who are on a 100% disability like myself.

Power-crazed senators like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer are endorsing Platner, all of whom are country-hating miscreants who violated their oaths of office. Do we need another self-professed traitor to poison our government?
