Today’s Army is generally aware of the threat of world Islam terrorism if only through direct combat experience. It’s part of the group culture just like the world communist movement was a generation ago.
But communism as a perceived threat and individual communists as traitors, spies, and enemies of democracy - that’s kind of faded away, now. The USSR & Warsaw Pact are long gone and the hermit kingdoms of Cuba & North Korea are a kind of sick joke not to be taken as a serious threat. And People’s China? They’ve got Mao Tse-tung lashed down so he can’t spin.
Times pass, unfortunately.
When getting secret clearances for my civilian military contractor’s job, one of the automatic disqualifiers was any belief or professing of communist ideals or ideology. They didn’t just quiz me, but my friends and associates.
So, does this mean now that communists can get clearances?
The former congressman who endorsed Rapone to the academy strongly disavows him.
The investigators need investigating, and then on up
My basic training company caught a Nazi trying to get small arms training for later use against Zod. We had him painting murals while he awaited discharge. Wasn’t half bad in a primitive way.
So... he seems to be on a ‘fast track’ to promotions, since usual Time In Grade from 0-1 to O-2 is 18 months and this guy has been in only 12 months.
Maybe ‘Ring Knockers’, even Communist ones who hate the USA, are on a different schedule from regular OCS / ROTC officers.
Wonder how long Trump will tolerate these military officers who disobey or behave in this manner. When he issued an order barring transvestites from military service, a Coast Guard Admiral and others in the Pentagon immediately openly opposed him. He is the Commander in Chief. He can reassign that Admiral as Keeper of the latrines at Leavenworth and that communist West Point grad as his assistant. Seems like the military is lacking discipline.
He should declare himself a muzzie. That’ll get him to Captain.
No doubt he will be a great military leader like his hero, Che.
EVERYONE makes O-2 from O-1. It’s a paper drill. Look at Nidal Hassan. He made O-4 from O-2 despite being goo-goo-eyed nuts and having a greeting card calling himself a soldier of allah. In my Reserve squadron we had a guy passed-over for O-3 and thus tossed-out of the Regular Navy. Not a top performer.
I wish I was on AD, now, so I could get on this despicable POS.
I am amazed that the members of the Long Gray Line have not yet noticed the Red thread protruding from the fabric of their existence and promptly pulled it out.
Methinks the Long Gray Line ain't what it used to be.
This sonuvabitch.
I thank God my son is retired from the Army. Imagine having to take orders from Rapone?
The last time I checked, Communism is a direct threat to our Republic by many countries and the domestic enemies and always will be. This country is INSANE.
Hey John (Horse Face I served in Vietnam)John Kerry survived.
So did Algore
Traitors are going to be Traitors
Fragging is not just for neophytes... and it doesn’t always involve a Grenade...
This clown won’t last (Trust Me) he will probably end up replacing Kerry at the Ketchup factory
I will remind my West Point family member of this again.
Maybe he’ll be posted to Buttcrack, Alaska, in charge of snow removal.
So then, he was lying, under oath, when he took his oath of service allegiance? That’s a crime punishable by dishonorable discharge, isn’t it?
Why did Americans go and get killed in Korea and Vietnam for? For THIS???
Ex-Ranger: ‘Communism Will Win’ Soldier Discharged from Army
It's unfortunate that his discharge took so long, he should have been dishonorably discharged following his graduation after posting those pictures of himself with the Che T-shirt.
Second, he should be required to reimburse the government for the total cost of his military/college education.
Last of all, this guy has to have had an end game for his actions. What they are, I don't know but he is going to profit from his actions. Be it a job with CNN, MSNBC or whatever. Nobody who is willing to throw away an education from West Point would do so without a future plan..........
