Thanks. Excellent background on Ft. Monmouth and the Soviet spy ring there.
You wrote “There had to be hundreds of Army personnel from privates to generals who knew about this guy.”
Absolutely. He is SO brazen and out in the open about his communist beliefs (not simple leanings). There have to be many others who know about him and are complicit. The honor code apparently no longer requires cadets and servicemen to turn in enemies.
What concerns me at an even more basic level, and I said this on another post today:
I said I thought there are only two choices for the behavior of a bunch of fellow cadets posing with him while he displays a large “X” on his hand he is holding up (presumably to signify Malcolm X) that they were either too cowardly to report him, or they are of a like mind.
After some reflection, I realized 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?
Have I been out that long?
