Lots of prior enlisted attend / have attended USMA.

This guy needs to go. Absolutely no place in the US military for an avowed communist.

Prior enlisted?

USMA FAQ's link

Possible. I thought about that before my post, but am very skeptical in that regard. If he really was prior enlisted, then this makes for an even more disgusting testament to how the previous administration has corrupted our military.

Totally agree.

What was his point in showing off his Leftist beliefs with these antics? Although I'm sure there were a number of cadets who already knew what he is about, now he can't be a mole and will likely (hopefully) spend his active-duty time in some backwater position where he can do as little damage as possible.

What active duty time? If I am correct the asshole is still at the point! Unless that place has deteriorated a lot, they will probably throw his ass out. But then given the last 8 years of obummer, and the damage he did to all things USA military, it would not surprise me that this shit has been declared OK as part of free speech, or some such shit.

When I was in the army, there was no such thing as "free speech".

He's prior enlisted with combat experience, per the article.

This guy is trying to make himself a victim and martyr when he eventually pays the price for his idiotic statements.

People used to fall down stairs sometimes. Don't they have stairs anymore?
.

Good God.

How did this commie shitstain even make it into West Point. AND he's a prior-service enlisted guy?

Luckily these Millennial's unending urge to proudly post everything they do on the internet will end up being the undoing of this guy.

You think this Commie butterbar is going anywhere now? NOPE.

The person/persons that vetted this Trojan horse candidate needs to explain their process/reasoning. Unacceptable result!

West Point
"Some things, however, do not change. Every candidate must secure a nomination from a congressman, senator or the vice president, or if eligible, secure a service-connected nomination. In the past, candidates competed for a principal appointment and three alternate slots available to each congressman; that system is no more. Each Congressional nominating source now has a total of five vacancies at West Point-ideally, at any given time, at least three or four are filled with current cadets. For any remaining vacancies, ten young men or women may be nominated to compete. Fully qualified candidates not receiving an appointment are placed on a national waiting list for vacancies that may arise. Often, several hundred new cadets are selected from this list, some just a few days before R-Day."

I would guess that based upon what little is here, he could kiss any chance of a security clearance good bye.

Withholding comment until solidly verified.

I researched it before posting. In addition to the links I provided, here is a photo of him from the USMA. He graduated in the class of 16. Page 13 of the pdf on the official USMA site:

https://www.usma.edu/centers/D...20January%202016.pdf



You can also locate him using the West Point Association of Graduates 'Find a Graduate' feature:

https://www.westpointaog.org/p...6A%3d&bbsys=0&bbrt=0

Maybe he wants out and this is his way of doing it.

The pictures are from 2016 so he's actually been commissioned and is out there somewhere leading troops. WTF.

See my post above - linked directly to the USMA website. He was a 2016 graduate, which makes sense. Those photos of him appear to be from graduation and if he graduated in May of 2016 he would have had time to finish Infantry Officer Basic and report to his duty station. A lot of prior enlisted attend West Point - I know a couple.

And, I also have to think this will be a self correcting problem. What do you think his path through the Army will be after his superiors learn of this? I predict it will be short.

Remember that group of black female West Point cadets that posted a pictures of themelves supporting Black Lives Matter. Nothing happened.

Although, General Mattis wasn't in charge then so maybe this time it'll be different.

this guy is a genius...
that being said, thanks to his own intersectional marxist bullsh*t...he is a WHITE MALE...this will follow him wherever he goes. no kid gloves for you bud...your identitarian mantra placed you in the wrong bucket for eggshells and coddling.

if this is true...and sure does look like it....the above with the general disdain NCO's have for a tool like this...not sure how much of a career he has in the infantry. great way to end a career before it starts.

Yep. Lawnewz is a legitimate site and they contacted him and confirmed that the photos are him and legit, but he is out in the field on a training exercise until Friday.

The Washington Times has picked up the story:

Odds are he's a mustang. Looks like his medals (Good Conduct, Army Achievement) are from prior service. He did good as enlisted, went to charm school and qualified for West Point.

Yes, he's not n violation of UCMJ by making political statements while in uniform.

EDIT: occurred to me he could be reverted to enlisted and still be required to refund the cost of his education.

What charge? You know perfectly well that you can't be charged for your political beliefs in the United States.

Who the hell knows these days, he'll probably get an Arcom..
