I have to wonder why he serves? It would seem that most traditional American military values are antithetical to his socialist vows. Why be a part of this organization? Was his initial enlistment motivated by the desire to serve/defend our nation and then something changed or snapped to draw him to the communism or socialism? Did he just want the prestige and quality education that West Point offers despite (likely) loathing every moment of his surroundings there? Is he trying to subvert/ "stick it to the man" from within? Intentionally posting this garbage to gather attention so as to martyr himself? Does he want a book deal, movie deal, exclusive interviews on xyz news network and Oprah? Whatever his motivation, I do not see this ending well for him personally or professionally. _________________________ An unarmed man can only flee from evil and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. - Col Jeff Cooper NRA Life Member Long Live the Super Thirty-Eight | |||

Hopefully, for an opportunity to be fragged. Just make sure that his kidneys are undamaged. | |||

I don't think having a career in the U.S. military was the end game for him. Perhaps a calculated way to build his "resume" for a political career down the road as a Commie Candidate in some commie city (San Francisco, Portland, etc). A modern day John Kerry.

President Trump won't deal with this idiot. Nor will SECDEF. Nor will Army Chief of Staff. Nor will any appointed govt official. His local chain of command will deal with him. He won't skate out of this. He won't get a free pass. His unit commander and every officer above him will take care of him. He wanted attention; well, now he has it, and he will NOT enjoy it. The military isn't as micro-managed by the govt as some here apparently think it is. Individuals, most of whom share the military's traditional values still run things day-to-day.

Exactly. An infiltrator, by design. The enemy within. A passive aggressive mole-lite. And one that needs to be removed from service before he manages to manifest into Nadal 2.0 or Manning 2.0 or the Unibomber Redux, or otherwise. Having kooky political opinions is fine in most contexts, but not here, lest we make it OK to hire a snake to guard the henhouse. It's absurdly ridiculous to even consider it, frankly. Again, in these specific roles and jobs... If he were some irrelevant blogger (is that redundant?) or just some knucklehead college kid or the mouthbreather sacking groceries at the local Piggly Wiggly - it wouldn't matter, but he is in charge of US Government property, on US Government orders, and perhaps in charge of the lives and general welfare of other US soldiers, and you can't have someone in those roles who wishes to see our entire system fail at the hand of an enemy of ours, ideologically speaking. GTFO, now and forever. | |||

Yes, because moles advertise their true leanings on Facebook.  You guys keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. | |||

2ndLT Dumbass is apparently assigned to the 10th Mountain Division, and is currently attending Airborne school. This just hit the media three days ago. Let the DOD gears turn. Pretty sure they'll mush him up and spit him out in due time. "The U.S. Army announced on Tuesday that it is probing a West Point graduate's pro-communist posts on social media. The Army was quick to announce it was looking into the messages posted by 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone, issuing a statement on Tuesday saying, "Second Lieutenant Rapone's actions in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army." "As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. 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," the statement continued. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-...pro-communist-social NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

JALLEN, Understanding you retired as a JAG Officer, could this cadet be brought up under articles 133and 134? Article 133
Article 134
And in response to JHE (do not know if your background includes the UCMJ), What political views I expressed while in uniform were extremely limited if not completely abated. For example, during the Clinton years is was almost expressly prohibited to speak unkindly of the CinC and how the country was run. The same was seen from 2008 - 2016 under Obama. To take a political view (either with or against the current administration) was never a wise move and when directly ordered to cease, would result in punishment. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Is he required to do Airborne/Air Assault schools over since he is commissioned, because he's already wearing a parachutists badge as well as an air assault badge indicating he has successfully completed the courses in his photos? Something isn't adding up here. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

The stories posted earlier and confirmed are that he is in Ranger school. He is already Airborne and Air Assault qualified with a CIB. “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 | |||

my bad - he's been to Airborne already. http://popularmilitary.com/ope...anger-served-combat/ says he is in Ranger School. I don't know whether you repeat it after commissioning - as he apparently was already assigned to 1st Ranger Battalion, and deployed as an enlisted (which is when he earned the CIB and completed Air Assault School). Don't matter what schools and awards he got before - 2ndLT Dumbass done fucked up, and will get to answer for it. In response to LS1 GTO, I'm nowhere near a JAG, but got to sit on a Special Court Martial a long time ago... I think he's open to charges under UCMJ 88, 133, and 134. Unfortunately, the Army would have to convene a General Court Martial to boot him out. Summary or Special can't dismiss or confine an officer. NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

He completed the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP) which allowed him to serve in the unit...A lot of enlisted members complete RASP and serve for some time before going to the actual school. He either never went to the school or had to drop before completion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...nd_Selection_Program “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 | |||

Gotcha, hadn't seen the other story regarding Ranger school just what feersum dreadnaught posted about Airborne school (now posted with correct story). Anyone who is interested, it looks like his awards from left to right are: Army Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, 2x Afghanistan Campaign Medal (at least that's what I think I see), and Army Service Ribbon. Edited to correct: 2x Afghanistan Campaign Medal not ICMThis message has been edited. Last edited by: mutedblade, ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Glad to see someone else also wants to see the POS lt. fragged. That being said, can we please just hang him for treason ? Then, we can more easily harvest the kidneys  | |||
