The fist salute is also a communist salute.

I commissioned through ROTC at a commuter college, most of the cadets, like me, were prior service soldiers. We had a no chickens—t attitude and it was a good group.
Our sister program, which was at a traditional college, was almost all non-prior service, so they had to play the cadet games with them as they were generally clueless. Oddly enough, that program had two prior service cadets, one a Ranger qualified infantryman, and the other was a finance clerk. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.
That’s what I saw, the dead evil in his eyes. He is ripe for making a terrorist attack.
IIRC, other than honorable discharges are evaluated case by case by the VA; it’s not like that laundry list which states that this type of discharge equals these types of benefits. The evaluation begins when the veteran files a claim for benefits.
I would have liked his getting a Bad Conduct Discharge much better. “Transportation to home” would have been his only bennie.
That this little commie rat gamed the system for this long points out the corruption in both. His entire chain of command needs investigating.
They will likely go after him for tuition costs.
He’ll never pay a dime. Some leftist in the Army will let him off the hook and it won’t be challenged. Like Bergdahl.
Not us, we jokingly called ourselves "West Point West". Our first four days of spring break were spent at Fort Lewis, doing patrols and other "fun" things in the area, such as rope drops into 55 degree water at Lake Lewis.
Over a third of my class got their Ranger tabs, more than half had jump wings (including me). One of my classmates retired as a two star general. Me? I did 8 years, left as a Captain.
It’s a pity they dismissed him so early.
During WWII, there were communists inducted into the US Army. Once they had demonstrated where their real loyalties lay, they were stationed in very isolated, freezing outposts in the Aleutian Islands (after the invading Japanese had been kicked out and showed no interest in returning).
However, they were not allowed to just sit on their thumbs.
The Army decided to conduct an experiment as to whether soldiers could be trained to digest cellulose. Of course, even then it was widely accepted that they couldn’t, but “it doesn’t hurt to try”.
At the start, they were given various forms of cellulose, in liquid and solid form, which they were required to consume before, during or after meals. Then their regular food was reduced, so that they could eat increasing amounts of cellulose.
Though little unclassified scientific data was ever released, some outsider wit observed that they were perhaps the “most regular” Army unit around.
Imagine how much more amusing it would have been to send this current commie and those like him for a similar endeavor? Accompanied, of course, by a reduction in rank to private, and an OTH discharge after a few years.
+1
Yes, they'll call him a "military analyst," or an economic advisor, depending on how they plan to use him.
Next on the list, he needs to re-pay his four years' worth of schooling, easily $300K.
The greater the perversion, the more likely demorat.
Because of West Point pc.
Don’t even joke about that! The pendulum is gonna swing against us eventually and it’s gonna be UGLY. Giving thanks for the Trump Era in the meanwhile.
Obama's a hardcore communist. He has no (geneuine) religious beliefs of any kind. That Liberation Theology "church" he attended for 20+ years under his pal and 'mentor' Jeremiah Wright was/is part of a bogus church movement created by the KGB during the 1960s. It started in Latin America. Sometime in the 80s black communist, James Cone, created the "Black Liberation" version of it.
The fist salute is also a communist salute.
Hmmm.... he’s not black
You missed the part where I said the fist salute could be black power, communist, or, as in the case of the "Black Liberation" movement, both.
Or perhaps he’ll fulfill his dreams and join some sort of boys school teaching staff in NW Pakistan.
Ok,ok..... Ijust looked at the pictures. Sorry ‘bout that
The presence of Marxism in liberation theology is well-known, at least to seminarians who are critical readers. Practically every seminarian reads Gustavo Gutierrez's Theology of Liberation at some point, but most laypeople find it hard to believe that there could have been (and continues to be) a widespread attempt to hybridize Christian theology and Marxism.
Marxist regimes obviously benefited from the spread of liberation theology in the churches. Still, I was not aware of any connections between liberation theology and communist clandestine organizations until now.
A new article by Robert D. Chapman in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence begins to connect some dots. In "The Church in Revolution," Chapman, "a retired operations officer in the Clandestine Services Division of the Central Intelligence Agency," argues that the KGB infiltrated the Russian Orthodox Church through Metropolitan Nikodim, the Russian Orthodoxy's second-ranking prelate. Nikodim was a proponent of liberation theology. Nikodim was active in the otherwise-Protestant World Council of Churches. And the WCC, of course, became an actively left-wing organization during the last half of the 20th century.
Chapman also details the growth of liberation theology in Latin America-and the Vatican's struggles with it-and the growth of black liberation theology in the United States. Prominent proponents of the latter include James Cone and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
The arguments of liberation theologians should be challenged on their merits. The source of an argument, after all, doesn't establish its truth or falsity. Still, it's interesting to learn that liberation theology may have been, at least in part, a project of the KGB.
Unfortunately, this isn't just history. Chapman concludes ominously:
"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB's headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.
A friend of mine, a head of Catholic social services in my area and formerly a priest, is a liberation theologian. He has made a number of humanitarian trips to Central America and told me, "liberation theology is alive and well." The same can be said of its sibling in the United States [ie, Black Liberation Theology]."

************************************************************
If the Soviet bloc wasn't the mother of liberation theology, it was certainly a sinister stepmother, enlisting Catholics in a geopolitical cause and inviting them to sell their souls for funding and support.
Only the naive can disregard the mountain of evidence connecting liberation theology with Soviet action in the region.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine

FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

"Obama did not address the [Rev Wright] issue squarely until forced to justify his relationship with Wright, his pastor at Trinity United Church in Chicago, for over 20 years. In a speech several weeks ago, Obama denounced Wright’s comments but justified them by saying that America didn’t really know Wright. Obama’s connection to the pastor runs deep, as he titled his second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” after a sermon Wright gave. Wright also baptized Obama and his children as well as performing the marriage ceremony of Michelle and Barack Obama."
Correct. In post # 11 you can see his picture. He is wearing a Combat Infantryman's Badge, an airborne badge and an air assault badge from when he was in the Rangers.
