Army opens investigation into West Point grad for promoting communism.

The U.S. Army has opened an investigation into West Point graduate Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone for appearing to openly advocate for communism on social media.

Pictures of Rapone in uniform at West Point promoting pro-communism messages spread wildly around the internet Monday, in effect forcing West Point to issue a statement in response. The statement noted the Army has launched an investigation into Rapone’s activities.

“The U.S. Military Academy strives to develop leaders who internalize the academy’s motto of Duty, Honor, Country, and who live the Army values,” West Point said in a statement released Tuesday. “Second Lieutenant Rapone’s actions in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army. As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. Second Lieutenant Rapone’s chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter. The academy is prepared to assist the officer’s chain of command as required.”

I think you're getting a little carried away in your fervor for Justice. The crimes of which this soldier appears to be guilty do not warrant imposition of the death penalty. However, serving up to a year in military confinement and being cashiered from the service would be entirely appropriate, IMHO.

He should be slow-tortured. First, they should remove his clitoris. Then, flay him alive, slowly, rubbing salt into the exposed flesh. If he survives that, slow roasting over an open fire, trying to keep him alive as long as possible.

Just hope he doesn’t come out as gay or identify as female. Then he walks.

They are known as "Red Diaper" babies. Raised from the cradle as communists. The presumption is that his parents and grandparents are Reds.

That his public school teachers are as guilty, and as indoctrinated, is politely ignored.

I toured the army prison at Leavenworth. I was going to school there, anyway got to see old sparky stashed in a closet. They had numerous programs and training for prisoners. I was impressed. I’m sure that the federal penitentiary next door probably didn’t have the same refinements. Boy it was huge though we use to do PT runs around booth complexes it took a little while.

That's much better! All I was calling for was a little thoughtful moderation...

Communism is no good for you, son. It will give you a red rash.

Yes how many more communists are in their ranks.

The communists have openly called for the over throwing of our government.

They are traitors. How can the Army allowed this trash in their ranks?

The Commandant at West Point should resign immediately.

The Army needs to purge their ranks of these Marxist/Leninist. Ditto the Naval Academy and Coast Guard Academy. Don’t limit it to the Academies too.

No surprise this happened under Obama admin.

Being a Commie is no longer the no-no it used to be. They'll probably promote him to captain. After all, betrayal is no longer even frowned upon, much less a sin. Today Benedict Arnold would have his own show on the RT network, and would be lauded by academic and media elites alike. The NFL might even consider having a "Benedict Arnold Day" as part of its promotional activities.

Exactly. Rooting of SJW began when the feminists demanded chick admission to the service academies in 1976, and accelerated big time with the purge of alpha male senior leadership after Tailhook 1991.

Hugo Chavez’ “Bolivarian Revolution” was conceived by him and his cronies while he was attending Venezuela’s military academy.

Of all teams to stand for the British anthem and kneel for ours, the Baltimore Ravens. They were hoping to see the Union Jack by the Dawn’s early light.

He needs to pay back his free education that he stole from another more deserving applicant.

Yes out of the service with a college education and have lots of left wing pinko companies willing to hire him.
