I hope this is true! I have searched every other day for updates and the Army is being officially completely mum about it. There are no stories or updates available other than 'the investigation is ongoing'. “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 | |||

All of the cadets who witnessed Rapones subversion and didn't stomp this commie mother fuckers guts out need to be shit flushed with him. Fucking sickening embarrassment for the USMA. | |||

Yep, If anyone ever needed a code red its this Rapone fellow.[/QUOTE] Code Red, is that what we used to call a blanket party? I assume so, and that is exactly what he needs, on his way out of the army with less than an honorable discharge.

I have read many ridiculous statements here over the years, but this is Grand Champion Hall of Fame material. They should commit a felony aggravated assault (or worse) offense to show their displeasure at someone’s idiotic political and social views—? I realize that most comments like this are nothing more than gaseous emissions from behind the safety of a computer screen, but there are limits to what deserve even the venue to express them. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Did anyone happened to read a sworn statement about Raspone from a Lt Coronel when he was in West Point? Sworn StatementThis message has been edited. Last edited by: aguilar64, ******************** “When the law disarms good guys, bad guys rejoice.” ― Ted Nugent | |||

You don’t fix faith, River. It fixes you. |
As much as we may like the idea of a blanket party, it's not reasonable to expect the cadets to fix a behavior problem that USMA Staff is allowing to continue and possibly encouraging. ---------------------------------- "If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.." - Thomas Sowell | |||

Whoa, someone didn't get their fiber RDA. Seems militaries the world over think extrajudicial discipline and punishment are valuable tools. Over the top? Absolutely. But given the magnitude of national and international embarrassment for such a revered and respected institution, not by much. | |||

If a cadet (or several) had 'taken matters into their own hands' and handed out the kind of butt-whooping some here call for, those cadets would have been charged with assault and expelled. This isn't 1950 any more. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

I’ll take your word that such things can motivate people to forcefully express strong opinions. That has never been true of me, but evidently you have more experience about the matter, so I won’t argue that claim. No, what motivated me to express myself on this rare occasion was my sense of personal honor and my profound respect for the Rule of Law, and the standards and traditions of the American armed forces—the US Military Academy’s in particular. USMA cadets are training to become the future leaders of the US Army, not highly paid athletic thugs. Anyone who believes USMA cadets should ignore the orders they took an oath to obey (including those in the UCMJ) and act like thugs, and that that behavior would be a benefit in their future careers or to the armed forces of this country is … sadly misguided. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

I absolutely respect what you're saying. But 200 yrs of being the tip of the spear of world order and good, deserve a reaction. Not blind eyeing it with their dicks in hand. This is bigger than a few cadets and 4 yrs at West Point. A gang takedown, ripping of rank, snapping of saber and destruction of that disgusting shirt and hat would made then famous for a long time. No thugs needed and no blunt force injuries recorded. Hindsight is a wonder, ain't it. | |||

Under the CIC at that time any cadet who partook in such an activity would've been prosecuted to the fullest extent for infringing on Rapones liberties to express himself and be a free thinker, his statements in his hat and shirt went with the Obama Agenda, this is one of the many things that BHO did to weaken and try to destroy our military. Imagine if he had say a John Wayne shirt on and death to to the Mujah Hadeen written in his hat,he would've been yanked out of the USMA in the instant the picture was seen, and prosecuted. This is what years of leftist, progressive liberal democrats have done to our nation. | |||

Came across this, and went to find this thread. https://sofrep.com/104349/upda...honorable-discharge/ Restored my faith in the system a bit.

Officers can't be given a BCD or worse discharge. They recieve a dismissal letter, which is really just the same thing. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||
