Rapone was appointed to the USMA from the ranks. He was an outstanding EM and had done a tour in Afghanistan. His radicalization seems to date from the summer after his second year when he was chosen for an intercultural trip to IndoPak with a leftist USMA prof.
Maybe that prof is the real problem, here.
Oh, in that case he’ll probably be hired by the CIA as a GS-15 by the end of the month.
