I'm hoping for kidneys and corneas, at least, for people on waiting lists.

As to what happens to this guy, well, I hope his life is ruined because of this, and I hope someone in his company frags his ass. I hope he finds promotion is impossible, and this assumes that he is not court martialed.

sorry commie, there can be only one...




and, 2ndLT Dumbass was "inspired by Chelsea Manning" His only "long march" is going to be to the unemployment line... Or end up like Che - minus the kidneys...




In a Reddit post regarding Manning, Rapone spelled out some of his motivations for remaining in the military and exactly what he wanted to accomplish while serving as a second lieutenant in the 2nd Combat Brigade Team, 10th Mountain Division. Those motivations included Manning’s decision to leak national security documents to WikiLeaks.

Notably, Manning was also part of the 10th Mountain Division.

“I’m currently an infantry officer at Ft. Drum, NY assigned to the same brigade that she was while enlisted,” Rapone wrote in a post. “Every single day I think of the contradictions of being a communist while in this organization, and her courage and tenacity gives me strength to continue the long march through the institutions.”

The “long march” comment refers to a strategy of institutional infiltration and subversion coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke but originally developed by Antonio Gramsci, a Marxist thinker whose thought developed in the wake of the failure of economic determinism to bring about a revolution.

After Rapone posted his comment, another Reddit user warned him not to talk so publicly about where he was stationed.

“I know comrade, but I feel like we should not hide any longer,” Rapone answered.

From his Reddit post and Twitter history, it seems clear Rapone was a dedicated communist and posted about developing a new manual on guerrilla warfare, presumably for use in the U.S.

“I read Che’s Guerrilla Warfare (★★★★) a month or two back,” Rapone said early this year. “An essential text, although, as Che would say, specific to a certain historical context. I’d suggest Marighella’s Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla (★★★★) after finishing Che’s work. I myself need to read Mao’s On Guerrilla Warfare here soon enough. But, I suppose, more than anything else, the task at hand for all of us is to produce our own text on guerrilla warfare, in the days ahead, yes?”

Any of y'all old enough to remember this opening for this TV series ("Branded") from the 1960s?

This would be a fitting way to administer punishment for dismissal, methinks?

Wouldn't you know...a Democrat.

Ooooh, he "Aggressively Disavows" the commie. Sounds like he grabbed reporters and started slapping them around while he was "disavowing" the commie.

Per West Point:

"Second Lieutenant Rapone’s chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter. The academy is prepared to assist the officer’s chain of command as required.”

How's it goin' today, son? Still feeling like a cocky know-it-all? I'm guessin' not.

My question is, didn’t the other cadets pick up on this BEFORE graduation or did he keep his feelings to himself? Surely someone must have caught his ideas over the four years.

This sick fuck had plans, for sure

My prediction based on nothing...

Most likely he'll be reprimanded for his fat mouth but allowed to finish his service commitment but with zero responsibility or authority. What soldier would follow this guy??

His life will be a living hell for four years after which he will run not walk away from the Army. Why he even signed up in the first place befuddles me.

OK, now I know he's stupid. If there's one Commie who developed a hard-earned reputation for tactical and strategic incompetence, it was Che Guevara. And this guy's supposed to be a vet? He must've spent an awful lot of time doing as he was told.

Well, the real problem - as the congressweasel took pains to point out - is "the epidemic of incivility in our public discourse". IOW, if we were just nicer to liberals and put up with more of their bad ideas and obnoxious behavior, then this would all be OK.

Can we send them both to the middle of the Arctic and place bets on which one kills and eats the other one first?

I will be surprised if Mattis and Trump allow the kid to continue to serve... you can't have an openly Communist kid who openly speaks of infiltration activities and philosophies in thinly coded words (even if it's mild and largely pointless "infiltration" on his best day) and openly flaunts Communist propaganda (even Che shirts, in this context) be an Officer in our armed services. That don't make no sense.... Of all the rules, surely this is covered, some how, some way. This isn't a job at McDonald's... it's different, and must be.

The is no upside to allowing him to continue to serve in any capacity. Again, I don't think we ought to waterboard the kid or jail him for his dumbass political opinions, but at least fire his ass from his job, from the company and industry even. Many have paid larger prices for less in everyday corporate America and various industries. He's making the boss and the company look bad, he's advertising for the competition, and must be fired. He would not have made it through the day today at any real job I've ever had.

And who better to fire someone like that than this administration...

Only one problem with merely "firing" 2ndLT Dumbass. He just took "us" for ~$250K in education at USMA.

I don't want him in uniform in any capacity, commissioned or enlisted. I want "our" money back.

I say put him to work cleaning sewers in PR for the next 5 years...

There's an idea, make him Platoon Leader on a one man team for the shitters in PR.

Maybe he'll defect to Cuba on his own, or drown in a burning 55gal drum of poo.

Maybe something about getting a top notch college education for free? Part of me thinks that now that he got it, he's trying to find a way to skate out of the commitment in such a way as he won't get dinged too badly (like by getting a BCD or full dishonorable discharge), and not have to pay the army back for the education.

Kicked his ass out of Ranger School,

That's good.

For starters

Yes, it is a good start.

If they can find that he broke the rules they can make him pay that money back.

Too bad. Who knows what might have happened to him around a rock cliff up in the mountains of Dahlonega or the middle of the night in the swamps of Florida.

He wasn't kicked out of Hooah School, it says he quit. So, he's not even a dedicated commie!

I retract my letter of reprimand theory from a few pages back. This thing got too big, too fast, and his comments about the Sec Def, VP, and the guerilla manual take this to a whole 'nuther level. How can the Army let him serve and run the risk of another MAJ Hassan type incident knowing what they know?

He's heading for a court-martial IMO. I'm not sure what the Army may do about the cost of his West Point education post-conviction. There is plenty here to convict him of something under UCMJ.

This clown is a real threat if he decides to be violent. An infantry officer and West Point trained combat vet...hopefully he isn't very charismatic. Doesn't seem to be.

Perhaps, but he could've gotten a free education through ROTC at any number of schools. I'd like to think an environment as West Point would be torture for a dyed in the wool communist.
