West Point Communist Graduate Has Been Discharged — He Has One Final Vulgar Message for the Military

The U.S. Army has decided to give Lt. Spenser Rapone an other-than-honorable discharge for advocating for communism while in uniform when he was graduating from the United States Military Academy.

“Due to privacy act restrictions, we are limited in what information we can provide. We can confirm, however, that the Army conducted a full investigation, and that appropriate action was taken,” Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Nina Hil said in an email to IJR. “We now consider the matter closed.” 

“I consider myself a revolutionary socialist,” Rapone told The Associated Press.

“I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement,” Rapone added.

On his Twitter account, Rapone posted his final message for the military on Monday:

 

In addition to advocating for communism, Rapone said Secretary of Defense James Mattis is the “most vile, evil f**k” in President Donald Trump's administration.

Rapone gained attention when pictures of himself supporting former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem and advocating for communism went viral.

 

“We were bullies in one of the poorest countries on Earth,” Rapone told the AP.

He added, “We have one of the most technologically advanced militaries of all time and all we were doing is brutalizing and invading and terrorizing a population that had nothing to do with what the United States claimed was a threat.”

Then hopefully he gets mowed down by a bus while trying to block traffic.  :bc:  

I’d be more interested in knowing what caused such a dramatic change in his views. Seems to me, given what he’s experienced and sacrificed, that he’s entitled to whatever views he decides on.

He didn’t sacrifice anything. He was a West Point cadet. He never did anything. He was just out of school. He’s experienced nothing from the military because he wasn’t even truly in it until well after his shirt and cap stunt.

He did more than West Point. 

At the time, the Army confirmed that he had previously been an enlisted soldier and a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment, with one Afghanistan deployment, but that he had been “removed for standards.”

 
 

Officials also confirmed that, following his commissioning, he had failed out of Ranger school before being assigned to 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division.

But the service declined to disclose what investigators found, how Rapone had been disciplined, or even if he has been allowed to stay in the service.

“We now consider the matter closed,” Hill said.

Sounds like he got bitter from failure.  :pc:

Well fuck me, whaddaya know... Failed out of Ranger School? Pussy and a moron. He was also 75th while in but didn’t get his tab there which means they booted him from that as well when he was enlisted. Double pussy and a moron.

Other sources say that he did get his tab. The stories are all over the map with this kid. How does a kid that got sent stateside for not meeting standards get the nod for officer’s training at the military’s most prestigious school? There’s some stinky shit going on here.

Seems fishy to me too.   I'm extremely surprise he was accepted at West Point.
