I've actually met a few Millennials like Platner--came out of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, now do grown-up jobs very competently, but definitely lost something out there and would probably have stuff like this come out if they were ever vetted for a political campaign. This is going to be a very different era for Millennial politicians because they've lived their adult lives online and AI can dig up anything they've said in minutes now. But you know what, it's up to the voters to decide whether that's disqualifying.
