Ouch! I wish it wasn't true. I hoped this story was just photoshopped trolling. But obviously there is a problem and the Army Command is definitely at fault. And the ribbing is deserved. He may have got a pass from the top, but I guarantee you the rest of us aren't impressed or laughing, ---------------------------------- "If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.." - Thomas Sowell | |||

Rapone was former enlisted with a CIB. Does anybody know his MOS and unit in which he served in combat? Also, is it possible Rapone acquired the authorization to wear his CIB without truly having met the requirements? I know there are a number of medals and ribbons given that ought not to have been, but is that possible with the CIB? | |||

Being a Communist is one of those things that can be excused as the antics of a silly college kid, but mouthing off like that is intolerable. Some things have changed since I was commissioned, in the Johnson Administration (Lyndon, not Andrew). I would never have imagined a daughter in law would make CAPT (O6), for example, but the level of disrespect reflected in that report is corrosive in the extreme. That ought to have been a “do not pass go” event right then and there. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Wow. How in God's name did this punk ever make it through West Point? Had anyone in my class at the Academy acted in any manner like that for so long, he or she would never have survived.

Who broke this story? I wonder who found the images and made them public? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

The only two career fields authorized to wear a combat infantry badge are infantry and special forces. As to not truly earning his CIB I doubt it, especially in a Ranger BN. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Only way to earn CIB is to be Infantry MOS. Everyone else gets a CAB for contact with the enemy. As sacred as the CIB is, no way I see it being authorized for wear without earning it. Being shot at in of itself isn't automatic grounds to earning the CIB either. _____________ | |||

He made the images public when he tweeted support for Kaepernick on 9/24 and 9/25 - it blew up on Twitter and I posted this thread after a couple of organizations verified that it was legit. It blew up on the news later in the day and over the next week. From the first story posted on this:
As others stated - he served with the 2nd Ranger Battalion in combat. He completed RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program), he has not completed Ranger School (which would allow him to wear the Ranger tab). He was authorized to wear the Ranger 2nd Battalion scroll patch on his right sleeve, since he served in that unit in combat. He also graduated Airborne and Air Assault schools. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Easy. He's a subversive plant for the GDCs. They need to court-martial him, convict him and kill any future political career. | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
Wasn't he just pulled out of / quit a school after this story blew up? Which one? | |||

According to the stories I've seen, he was in Ranger school and in the Mountain phase when this broke. According to this report, he was dropped and was told he would be a Day 1 recycle displaying the same disrespect noted in the statement published by the LTC at West Point. He then quit and was dropped from the course. https://sofrep.com/90622/sofre...cal-beliefs-command/ “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

He made it through the same way a full-up "Death to America" guy from Pakistan made it through USAFA pre-9/11. | |||

Fork him is right! Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

I can only imagine how differently his "coming out" might have gone if we hadn't elected President Trump. Shiver... | |||

Would be interesting to know what transpired after LTC Heffington wrote his Sworn Statement. (shown on page 12 of this thread) Reading through the Sworn Statement, I did not envision LTC Heffington as a strong leader. Why in the world would he have continued his discussion with CDT Rapone for so long with the disrespect which was been shown? Seems to me that LTC Heffington failed in his duties, as CDT Rapone was allowed to continue, and Graduate from West Point. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.
