Which congresscritter put him up? Or isn’t that a perk of Congress anymore?
But I just noticed something - those that fail have to wait until....horrors...June!, to graduate. First of all, it used to be that everybody graduated in June. Besides that, apparently the penalty for being unprepared after 4 years of training is: train for another month :(
I forget her name, but its a democrat...but to her credit she has spoken out against him. And, according to his father, there was quite a transformation (sadly while at West Point), so there was no way to tell he was a commie.
It was a democrat from PA. Claims he knew nothing about Rapone’s communist views.
One of my sayings is "The Master Does Not Boast" (You don't see Special Forces talking about how bad ass great they are. They don't have to. Their reputation speaks for them). I think that applies here.
Less posturing and more self-examination is in order at West Point.
Too bad he didn’t address the issue of Rappone
Since when is being a communist a chance to help some poor kid learn the truth? He is a traitor and a threat
Thank you for posting this Official reply to LTC Heffington’s letter. I went through the Army of “zero defects” and saw the problems caused by it, but I’m leary of the superintendent’s reply that you noted: “abandoned an ‘attritional model’ and embraced a ‘developmental model’.”
Not really. a group of white folks tried to steal his body.
Why, ransom. The folks of Springfield resorted to several feet of concrete to prevent that from happening again.
The “attritional model” pays for itself if the cause of the attrition is loss of readiness in leadership. We don’t need “leaders for the sake of graduating” end result officer’s corps.
The infiltration of the social justice warriors of obamaumao’s regime has been further in the Army than the Navy, but the Naval Officer’s cadet graduates are starting to show the effect of similar efforts.
The photo in this thread show “women of color” of various ethnic background and skin tone-— which, on the face of it— should not matter AT ALL in a true leadership model. Instead they pose with the clenched fist salute of world Communism... the Comintern (just like their granddaddy’s did at the Olympics... clenched fists of communist power). The very exhibition of this “salute” should be cause for removal. Communism is not now “OK” any more than it was in the 50s or 60s. But, keep in mind that our vaunted CIA former head, Brennan- was a Irish catholic convert to Islam.... ISLAM!! And has stated he voted communist party many times in US elections. HOW could this joker ever become head of CIA? Answer that question and you answer the entire screed of well written PR pablum with stats, and zero examples of leadership results.
No, I would NOT join the Lt. Col in an Afghan war zone with these “leaders”. They are NOT warfighters, they are political officers of PC- a dead weight on an effective fighting force. Period.
Your point is well taken. The American military reflects the American nation and its culture. Over the last fifty years much of America has descended into neo pagan hedonistic debauchery. These cadets come to West Point from an epicurean lifestyle that features widespread drug use, abortion on demand, pornography, open homosexuality with all its permutations, earth and celebrity worship as well a constant mocking of the very nation they are being trained to defend. Merit and ability is sacrificed on the altar of diversity. It is no surprise that West Point itself has changed so as not to become incompatible with the contemporary culture. It nods to tradition but conforms to reality. The nation has changed, It elected and reelected a fornicating, left wing draft dodger as its leader. It elected the dry alcoholic not terribly bright son of a former President. It elected less than eight years after 9/11, a doctrinaire leftist, sympathetic to those who attacked us and who made no secret of his intentions. Then they reelected him. None of this has occurred in a social or political vacuum. West Point has indeed changed as has America.
Just think.....sixteen fine young men were denied admission to West Point so that these useless black power b*tches could attend. Disgusting!
He doth protesteth too much.
Hey General. Apparently you failed your English composition courses. Otherwise, why would take so many paragraphs to present your position? Hell, I can sum my reaction up in five words - You are full of s**t.
From that photo, I would have to say that Rapone is not the only “problem” student at West Point.
Lt Generals dont normally respond to Lt Colonels but this guy obviously hit a nerve. Those of us with an Army background can see right through this extended BS and know the General means West Point now is an outcome based institution and merit has almost no place now so long as the end product looks like the gods of PC want it to look. And there is not a word that I saw addressing the communist they recently commissioned and sent out to lead our soldiers.
My suggestion would be to fire everyone at West Point that is a West Point graduate, and replace them with Citadel and VMI grads. Perhaps hire a few carefully vetted TA&M and Norwich guys.
Thanks for the ping. This Official reply is what I expected.
So until such time as the Superintendent offers a convincing explanation for why Rapone was retained...I consider his letter to be just prettied-up PR.
“Just think.....sixteen fine young men were denied admission to West Point so that these useless black power b*tches could attend. Disgusting!”
You took the words right out of my mouth.
