Fox News ^ | June 19, 2018 | Lukas Mikelionis

The West Point graduate, who last year posed in a picture holding a cap that had “Communism will win” written inside, is officially out of the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge. Spenser Rapone rocked the military community last year after his social media posts were revealed, showing him wearing a Che Guevara shirt underneath his military uniform.

He looks like future Presidential-assassin patsy material to me... :-(

He was not turned at the Point. He was essentially kicked out of the Ranger regiment for being a PIA - he was already a loudmouth socialist there.

For some reason he’s a fan of General Sherman.

They’re probably all officers at EO.

It is a method of making a future spy or just getting rid of an idiot. I wonder if he will be a future patsy?

A future rising star in the Democratic Party, no doubt.

His jihadi professor who “mentored” him is still listed in West Point’s faculty.

He was certainly pushed along at The Point. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/09/28/exclusive-west-point-professor-who-mentored-antifa-soldier-on-administrative-leave/

At West Point, Hosein had mentored Rapone. The two apparently traveled together to India together in 2014 and maintained a close relationship until Rapone graduated in May 2016.

Also during that time, Rapone’s Facebook posts grew increasingly radical and leftist.

Rapone’s activities caught the attention of command authorities this week after he posted photos of himself in his West Point uniform while promoting communism on social media.

According to photos on Rapone’s Facebook page, he became close to Hosein, a Ph.D. in Islamic history from the University of Chicago. The two appear to have traveled together to the Taj Mahal in March 2014, according to pictures posted on his Facebook page.

On March 18, 2014, Hosein posted on his Facebook page, “Back from the Taj [Mahal] and it delivered.” Two days later, on March 20, 2014, Hosein posted a picture of himself, wearing a long tunic, and Rapone, wearing a turban and a long tunic, with the caption: “The brothers are gonna work it out.”

On March 23, 2014, Rapone posted about anti-corporatism and racism. On March 24, 2014, Rapone posted a picture of himself and Hosein in front of the Taj Mahal.

Later that year, on August 19, 2014, Rapone posted a picture that showed them in a classroom with another soldier. “The Intelligentsia,” the caption read. Hosein was tagged in the picture, suggesting they were Facebook friends at the time.

A review of Rapone’s Facebook page shows that over time, since 2014, his posts became increasingly anti-racism, anti-Israel, pro-Muslim, pro-Communist, anti-military, and anti-police.

On January 5, 2015, he posted a Slate.com article calling for the abolishment of West Point. As a Facebook friend since 2014, Hosein would have been aware of Rapone’s Facebook postings between 2014 and when he graduated in 2016. A search of Rapone’s page shows they are still Facebook friends.

Whatever world he inhabits today it would not surprise
me to see him as a candidate for high office
representing the jackass party at a future time.

I swear. There is something about that, the ignorant, smug, arrogance that really trips something in me.

An ideology that is the direct antithesis of all be believe and know, and is in direct and irreconcilable conflict with us, whether we admit it, or they reveal it, responsible for trillions of dollars and millions of wasted lives and countless more in misery and gray poverty...and this scum gets into OUR military and is FLAUNTING his support for THAT?

I understand people who say that guy should have been fragged. Even a blanket party would have been satisfying.

Imagine all the helpful work they could do in Africa? And in the process get all the cultural enrichment they need for the rest of their lives. As well as learning how to maintain hygiene while in an ebola epidemic.

“On the other hand, many people reached out and showed me support. There are a lot of veterans both active duty and not that feel like I do.”

Sadly... those should be kicked out of the military too.

I doubt he kept it hidden. The fact that this enemy was allowed to graduate should prompt an administrative investigation of the service academies.

The Bolsheviks infiltrated the Russian Army during WWI to weaken it.

The left photo: Hey, communism has resulted in some of the most successful societies in the history of the earth. Ants, termites, bees, all live perfect, collective, communist societies. Of course everything is for the good of the collective... A worker gets old? Exiled from the hive to die. Drone bees after a queen has mated? Exiled from the hive to die. The only people who really like communism are those at the very top. The vast majority, not so much. Too bad he couldn't have been shipped to Venezuela.

Center photo, it's soooooo coooooool to wear a homicidal sociopath's image on your chest. Che was really quite the accomplished serial killer. Of course, once he proved how good he was at killing Castro's enemies, Castro wised up and had him murderd.

Not really "the best and the brightest" here. It's a shame he couldn't spend a few years at hard labor in the grey bar wing of Ft. Leavenworth.
