It took the Army wimps long enough to do it.
Pendejo - ever hear about Cackstro’s fellow revolutionary Camilo Cienfuegos? Blown out of the sky because he was getting too popular.
Huber Matos? Wires inserted through his genitals and imprisoned because he expressed doubts about the revolution’s changed direction after Batista was defeated.
The stupid pr!ck should be deported to Venezuela.
Depends on how you look at it. He got a very excellent and expensive university education for virtually no charge. That may have been his goal all along?
Have fun getting a job and paying back tuition costs.
Rapone got himself a free college education @ West Point on the taxpayer’s dime which cost him only about 2 years of active duty. Yes, the OTH discharge is going to follow him.
There needs to be a general investigation of the admission criteria at the service academies, the honor systems, the professors. People that encouraged or recommended Rapone need to be punished. Those that looked the other way need to some sort of official warning.
They will likely go after him for tuition costs.
HE SHOULD OF BEEN STRIPED OF OFFICER RANK KEPT IN FOR THE TIME HE SIGHNED UP FOR FORCED TO SERVE AS A PRIVATE BEFOR BEING DISCHARGEDE AND FORCED TO PAY FOR HIS DEGREE.
See post 25.
I believe that Rapone was prior-enlisted before being admitted to West Point. Which makes you wonder how he got recommended in the first place. I could see a naive high school kid sliding through the nominating process with a socialist-leaning congressman handing him a nomination. But somebody who has already served & been evaluated?
President Elizabeth Warren’s Secretary of the Army.
Why did it take a year? He should have been dumped the day the picture was taken.
Greg Rinckey, an attorney specializing in military law, claimed that this opens an opportunity for the military to seek money back from Rapone for the education he received as he didn’t fulfil the five-year service obligation for all the graduates.
He looks like a young John Kerry, no surprise that he acts like him too.
Or with them.
The article said that they might be able to. Far from a done deal.
Don't think so. That's too easy, and the others serving with him shouldn't have to put up with him (I was an E-1 once).
Throw him in the stockade for two years of hard labor!
He'll either end up living in a cardboard box, or get his Ph.D. and have a long career as a tenured college professor.

I see that face, and I want to put a fist in it.
Shame.
Shame.
Agreed.
The only downside is when he did get killed, there would be a huge crap storm about it.
Expelling him with a dishonorable would have been better.
Short of a court martial this is the worst type of punishment an officer can receive. It means no VA benefits and will look terrible on any job application.
