‘Communism Will Win’: U.S. Army Infantry Officer Posts Message In Support of Kaepernick
Mediaite ^ | 25 Sep 2017 | Colin Kalmbacher

Posted on 09/25/2017 4:30:28 PM PDT by mandaladon

As the discourse rolls on regarding former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick‘s decision to take a knee during the national anthem–and the movement his protest ignited–support for the blacklisted athlete-cum-activist is sprouting up across the country.

Yesterday afternoon, on Twitter, some of that support came from U.S. Army Infantry Officer and U.S. Military Academy at West Point alumnus, Spenser Rapone.

Rapone posts under the handle @punkproletarian and is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Under the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick, he tweeted an image of himself raising the left clenched-fist of solidarity, support and resistance as well as the message, “Communism Will Win” taped inside of his West Point uniform cap. Also visible in the photograph is Rapone’s Combat Infantryman Badge–meaning he has fought in active ground combat.

Rapone followed up his initial post with retweeted images of other #VeteransForKaepernick in their combat uniforms.

LawNewz verified the legitimacy of the photograph with Rapone himself. He is currently in the field until Friday and unable to answer detailed questions, but a Medium post authored by the Infantry Officer details some of his views. He wrote, following the murder of socialist Heather Heyer during the Charlottesville neo-Nazi rallies:

The toppling of the Confederate Soldiers Memorial in Durham, North Carolina has sounded the death knell for any and all displays of Confederate aggrandizement in the United States as well as abroad. Yet, the shadow of the Confederacy and its efforts to preserve slavery is not limited to the southern United States.

This is a good first step.

I am still disturbed that this scum could get as far as he has being an open Marxist scumbag, being an acolyte of a bloodthirsty ideology dedicated to the downfall of democratic Western institutions.

How did he not get a blanket party in Boot Camp, the Army, or West Point?

Exactly. And that is the “nice” addressing of the issue.

I would investigate every single one of those guys in that picture with him. Every one of them. Without fail.

They could not have been ignorant of that POS and his proclivities, and if so, there are only two excuses they did not report him and make an issue of it:

1.) They are cowards.

2.) They are of the same mindset.

It appears the 2lt was groomed at West Point. How many officers like him?

How did this Commie prick ever get past a background check much less four years at The Point? Political correctness and the treacherous Legacy of Barak Hussein Obama, no doubt.

This is outrageous. They ought to throw this bastard's scummy azz out of the Army. He is a disgrace.

That is what I am concerned about.

In my previous post, I said there are only two choices for the behavior of the men in the picture with him...there is a third choice, which frightens me even more:

This could be normal for these people entering West Point. They see this embrace of Che Guevara and all the Communist and Marxist principles that go along with it as completely natural and normal, with no need to report on it. Is it possible the instructors and other senior people at West Point see it that way too?

I sure hope not.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! What a complete dipstick!

I love the “Views my own, not the DOD/Army”!!!!!!

Hahahahahahaha...THAT will protect him.

I hope there is a patriotic bureaucratically minded officer up the chain who will begin the process of making that miserable, slimy worm’s life a total pain in the a$$.

I hope. God, how I HATE people like him. God help me, I do feel actual hate for that person. It is people like him that would put a bullet in our necks without a qualm.

Because he is a liberal as described in my tagline, and we would just be eggs to be broken for scum like him.
