FINALLY! And with a terrible discharge classification that will prevent him from receiving benefits. Maybe the Army is beginning to shed just a bit of the extreme political correctness that has crippled it and the other services for so many year, but still a very long way to go. Now this dud can go promote communism until his heart is content. I am a retired Army Officer who posted on this guy asking for an update several weeks ago. Finally I see the Army taking out the trash. Very well done!

Good news indeed.

I'll withhold comment about this guy's future, though...

Shall we determine just HOW this clown ever got an appointment to West Point? Which congress-monster, exactly or other reserved appointment giver. Let’s find out. It is a matter of record at the Point.

Appalling jackass this clown is.

Oh yeah, the ones who were doing the black power thing in uniform?

The Army would be better off without them too IMO... likewise I have nothing to say about them personally.

You beat me to it! I was wondering the same thing, especially what member of congress would have been involved.

And with a terrible discharge classification that will prevent him from receiving benefits.

He has a very expensive college education and no need to pay for it through service or anything else. What other benefits will he need?

Besides, less-than-honorable discharge does not automatically disqualify you for all veterans benefits. It's up to the VA.

No more blanket parties at The Point?

Another tradition shot to hell.

The fact that an openly hostile communist against the United States was allowed to knowingly continue through the academy says there is zero efforts to route out and remove such people. Therefore, it can only be assumed there are more like him that simply haven’t been public about their political ill-will against the US in violation of the law.

This idiot had active duty academy officers writing against him, and the academy leadership took no action.

Read the story. He was an enlisted man and applied after a tour in Afghanistan. I don't think those applicants need congressional approval.

I believe he did get an appointment from his Congressman. IIRC, he was from Pennsylvania.....and the Congressman who appointed him is appalled (or was when the pictures came out). I think the people who write the appointments don’t necessarily follow those whom they have appointed. And some of his instructors did report on his Communist love, but nothing happened. I am glad to see he is no longer ‘leading’ in the Army.

From New Castle, PA. I believe he was nominated by a now ex-Rep Jason Altmire.

But, he was an Army Ranger before he was a cadet so there may be some question as to the nominating process for him vs a standard nomination.

I’ll bet money he only got a General Discharge, which qualifies him for all benefits.

He should be made to repay his schooling tuition.

Good. Now make him pay back the cost of West Point education.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read a week or two ago that this jack-wagon was promoted to First Lieutenant.

At the time, I thought, the Army is promoting an officer who is an openly, self-proclaimed Communist?

Good riddance. Gave the Army a bad name with him in their ranks.
