Over the weekend, West Point and Annapolis met in Philadelphia for the annual Army-Navy game. Army clinched sweet victory when Navy kicker Bennett Moehring missed a 48-year field goal attempt. While Navy lost the football game, they can be given credit for some of the trash talking that occurred in the stands. The Naval Academy cadets made sure to let their Army counterparts know about their recent public relations embarrassment over 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone, who tweeted support for former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, trashed Secretary of Defense James Mattis by calling him an “evil, vile f**k” and said that “communism will win.”

Rapone graduated in 2016, but tweeted photos of himself wearing a Che Guevera shirt underneath his uniform. He also wrote that communism tribute inside of his officer’s cap. He’s currently with the 10th Mountain Division. He’s reportedly a member of Democratic Socialists of America. I’m pretty sure you cannot be political while in uniform, but that’s a story for another time.

For something a bit more patriotic, please read Guy’s post about the Army-Navy glee clubs’ rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. For all you liberals, this is why so many Americans are sour at the NFL for their national anthem antics.
2017 National Anthem at the Army-Navy Game
UPDATE: Army had some good posters of their own
Army fan here, but that was almost good enough for me to root for the Navy.
Good on you!
Thanks for the win/loss record. I had been looking for sth like that before the game. Navy rooter here, but neither is a loser in my mind. Loved the close ups of these cadets and midshipmen in the stands. What fine young men and women to be proud of!
The Navy triumphs with the help of a few Marines...
I’m sure the army can create some Fat Leonard comebacks.
Parachute him over North Korea. Let him join the Army there and find utopia.
PROGRESSIVISM isn’t compatable with the US Constitution.
Not even the sort that FDR and his Court lawlessly foisted on this nation.
Progressives don’t need amendments, they just go ahead and do whatever the heck they want to.
The Attorney General used to have a subversive organization s list,but it was outdated back in 1969 when I went in the. Army. Even at that time it was outdated. But it did have the Communist Party,USA on the list. That list needs to be brought back and revised.
There was a day if your third cousins step sister’s neighbor 4 states away said the word “Communism” ........YOU lost your security clearance. Now ......not so much.
Too many folks think we’re invulnerable. They’re complacent.
Both are big mistakes. We can be harmed. We must be ready.
We need to get back to taking things seriously.
You can see it everywhere.
Not at Fort Drum. Flat as a pancake.
You are correct .......100% CORRECT.
