No need to overreact.
Just put him up in front of a firing squad comprised of Gold Star Wives and Gold Star Mothers.
And no need to rush - by noon today will be fine.
Or:

He has all the potential of being a traitor if he is not one now. He needs to be discharged from the military with a dishonorable discharge.

When I was on a carrier in the Seventies, someone had written on the inside of a stall in one of the fancier heads “B.O.C.” which was obviously a reference to the band Blue Oyster Cult.
At some point, someone had put letters vertically below each of the three characters to spell out “Brothers of Communism”.
They made every division officer on the ship have a meeting with those under him to discuss the seriousness of subversive activities while a member of the US military.
I thought the whole thing was absolutely stupid at the time...after all, it was obviously a joke, right? Someone writing on a bathroom stall out of boredom?
I have since come to learn there are some things you can’t do much joking about, and this is one of them, IMO.

Oh, and what about that “million dollar education shoved up your a$$, a nickel at a time”? (Ring tappers - academy grads - will recognize that anecdote.)
.,
Che Guevara, Huber Matos, Camilo Cienfuegos - all screwed or killed by the Cackstro brothers because they got too popular. This numbnuts must have slept through all his history classes.
Taxpaying Americans should demand a refund.

This is a “WTF” moment reading this. He is a danger to his subordinates and superiors and has no place within the Army unless its cleaning commodes at Leavenworth.

The Army should hang him; but only after recouping the costs of educating his sorry, ungrateful, turn-coat ass.

It is not a military...crime to endorse communism....I disagree. He violated his Cadet oath, then the West Point Honor Code, and then his oath as an officer.
IMHO, he should be shot.

"Correspondingly, the Army shouldn't overreact in punishing 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone for his apparent endorsement of communism." I find this so absolutely stupid that I can find no way to effectively respond to it.....

They also probably thought that the State of California rushed to judgment regarding Charles Manson.

I agree. he owes a debt which must be paid in full.
It doesn’t have to be paid doing what he wants to do. We must have some remote outpost that only needs one full time soldier to man it. He’d be perfect there.

The U.S. needs military officers who are skilled and intellectually curious and predisposed to challenging groupthink. I wonder if they thought that Major at Fort Hood fell into this category? Who in their right mind, would ever trust this dude?
