A US Army officer and West Point graduate is on his way out with a less than honorable discharge* after exposing himself as a Communist who does not support the US Constitution.
In a good case for why military officers should stay off social media (if they want to accomplish their goals, anyway), 2LT Spenser Rapone is getting the boot from the US Army after he posted graduation photos of himself wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt under his uniform and wrote “communism will win” on the inside of his cap.
A subsequent investigation revealed that Rapone was not only openly Communist, but believed that the US Government must be destroyed from within, his beliefs operating the lines of Communist philosopher Rudi Dutschke’s strategy of the “long march through the institutions.”
In short, Rapone saw himself as a subversive agent of communism, infiltrating the US military from within with intent to destroy it.
One West Point teacher -LTC Robert Heffington- produced a scathing description of Rapone in a sworn statement regarding his concerns of having a Marxist cadet.
“At, best, Cadet Rapone’s online ideological screeds reveal the philosophical infatuations of a precocious adolescent, rather like a school boy who cannot stop spouting off about Nietzsche,” he wrote in a statement disseminated by SOFREP. “The ‘misunderstood’ and ‘persecuted’ young genius shouts truth to power by cobbling together ideas and quotations popping up in chat rooms or on Facebook walls, certain that his provocative and shocking proclamations will, based solely upon their vehemence and sarcasm, demonstrate both the profound sincerity and the unassailable correctness of his viewpoints.

Did those women ever face repercussions? I hope the little communist turd has to repay tuition.
He threw away a tremendous honor. The more amazing thing is that he made it through the Academy acting in the open.
Also by Congressmen... Also by Presidential appointment. And finally if one of their parents was awarded the CMH.
I believe each Senator gets two appointments. Congressmen... I'm not sure.
Smug commie asshole.
I would like to have 30 seconds with the morons that pushed this little turd through the entire selection process! WTH is going on with our military?????
No communist supports the constitution.
I prefer they unmask themselves. More commies should do it.
An overt anti-American ideology, advertised openly, is hardly a “prank.” He is a traitor and would be a cancer in the corps. He’s lucky our nation has become too soft to hang him. Good riddance.
Well, nuts to that. Loser.
WTH is going on with our military?????

The Kenyanesian Usurpation, that’s what.
The Constitution says Barack Obama can’t be President because he is NOT a natural born citizen and our elected and appointed failed to uphold it.
Spooky, huh?
BCD is only for criminal punishment from a court martial
It wasn’t a “stunt”: this a-hole brazenly showed his support for an ideology that tortured and killed more innocent people than the Nazis did.
Nah man. He only got an ‘Other than honorable.’
That would have been cool.
I just saw this, thanks! Pretty fast actually!
I read somewhere that because he was an active duty ranger, he could get in without a Senator’s recommendation.
Ping. This is the article I read last week.
