The Army officer who outed himself as a radical Marxist had been reported back in 2015 for publishing inappropriate and outright anti-American views online, according to a scathing report obtained by The Daily Caller.
The report gave exhaustive and damning details on 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone’s disqualifying insubordination at the U.S. Military Academy, extremist political views and out-of-regulations online activity. Still, the Academy’s administration saw fit to allow Rapone to graduate in 2016.
Rapone made the news last week for his pro-communism tweets during the #VetsForKaepernick social media craze. (RELATED: Communist West Point Graduate Called Mattis An ‘Evil, Vile F***’)
West Point’s Public Affairs office quickly released a statement last week condemning Rapone’s actions, saying that they “in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army… Second Lieutenant Rapone’s chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter.”
This punk needs to be removed from the military ASAP before he converts and does another Ft Hood. If his posts were deemed as “white superacist” he would have been tossed in one second flat.
He’s a communist sympathizer. And will most likely be pro Islam.
He’s going to cost lives eventually. Ever notice how the Obama generation (those you came to voting age during his administration) hates this country.

Like you want this guy commanding anyone or even in the same tent
He should be slapped with a Dishonorable Discharge and required to pay back to the US Army the full cost of his West Point education.
“..to protect America from all enemies foreign and domestic ..”
Is there any doubt who the domestic enemies are going to be in this commissioned officers future?
Just his mere graduation from West Point tells us how degraded and infiltrated our military had become.
Not enough details, but it sounds to me like he has violated his oath.
It sounds to me like there is sufficient evidence to remove him, maybe even a dishonorable discharge.
Anyone out there with expertise in this area?
As I mentioned in my first post, do you think there would be a question if this idiot posted things that were deemed as being “right wing” or “white supremacist”, yet can support a political philosophy that is ten times more murderous and anti American. He needs to be thrown out like yesterday.
Who let him graduate at West Point? And are they still working there? If so, there’s a much deeper problem than a single traitor.
Also, who took the pics of the douche wearing communist stuff with his uniform? Why didn’t that person report him? If another cadet, why isn’t that person being investigated too as a possible communist serving as a U.S. Army officer?
The real issue here is the chain of command and their apparent willful blindness to this guy’s antics.
“it’s probably just a phase”
Whatever happened to “Kill a Commie, for your mommy”?
Now we just let them into the military, and West Point no less!
Agree. He is now seeking notoriety. Cut him off. Give him an administrative discharge, undesirable if he fits the criteria, and send him on his way without any acknowledgement that could let him claim victumhood.
#NOT MY ARMY
Time to investigate Jason Altmire - the Dem congressman who sponsored this piece of shit.
We need a complete overhaul of all military academies.
why can’t he believe whatever he wants? Don’t be daft. What, we have thought police now? He’ll come around.
West Point Chain of Command proves,themselves, to be fools or traitors, unfit to serve the command in any case.
Their own complicity holds them entirely responsible for Rabone, easily making all of them court marshal material. Rewarding treason with graduation honors is now a virtue at WP?
(The kid should have been immediately turned over to the FBI and dismissed.)
I thought he already converted and was a Moslim
I don't see a /sarc tag, so I am going to assume this is a serious question. The reason this is a serious issue is becasue what he believes in is antithetical to the oath he took when becoming a commissioned officer. So, we have two possible situations. First, he's just posting his anti-American screed and sporting Che Guevara t-shirts to cause hate and dis-content; conduct unbecoming an office, grounds for separation. Or secondly, he truly believes the anti-American crap he's spouting, in which case he took his oath fraudulently, with the purpose of being a subversive once he was established in the military. Again, grounds for separation and punishment. Unless proven otherwise, the Army has to go with the latter assumption this guy as a subversive element and must treat him as such, while making an example at the same time.
