    Default West Point grad is a commie

    This makes me sick. Apparently this guy is still active duty. (Or I suspect WAS until this came out).

    But apparently he's been posting garbage like this for a long time. Why is he still in uniform? Why have none of his equals reported this BS?

    And it sounds like his West Point mentor encouraged this. How could a military academy employ a teacher like this???

    Insane!

    On August 7, Rapone posted a photo on his Instagram account of himself in his Army uniform wearing a Democratic Socialists of America Membership nametag that says, “official socialist organizer.”

    Rapone’s Instagram account was taken down Tuesday evening.

    Rapone has also tweeted a number of provocative statements, including calling Defense Secretary Jim Mattis “the most vile, evil f*ck in the current administration” on June 7 from Columbus, Georgia.

    A spokeswoman for the 10th Mountain Division confirmed to Breitbart News that Rapone had started Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia — near Columbus — in February 2017 but did not complete the course.

    On February 11, he posted an article titled “Know Your (Gun) Rights! A Primer for Radicals — IT’S GOING DOWN.” He also reposted a meme from a group called Anarchist People of Color criticizing “white privilege.”

    Rapone posted on several forums in support of Chelsea Manning, the Army soldier who went to jail for leaking classified intelligence to WikiLeaks. He posted January 18 on Facebook, “May we all learn from her example of what integrity and strength of conviction truly entails.”

    Sometime last year, he posted a picture on Instagram of an Antifa flag in his room next to a print of Che Guevara. “New room decor … until it’s flying proudly in the streets. #AntiFa,” he wrote, according to a picture obtained before he took down his account.

    Rapone has also posted on Facebook a picture of himself holding up the Communist Manifesto, with his Army dress uniform hanging in the closet in the background and a number of posts showing opposition for Trump policies and administration officials and support for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at least since 2015.
    According to photos on Rapone’s Facebook page, he became close to Hosein, a Ph.D. in Islamic history from the University of Chicago. The two appear to have traveled together to the Taj Mahal in March 2014, according to pictures posted on his Facebook page.

    On March 18, 2014, Hosein posted on his Facebook page, “Back from the Taj [Mahal] and it delivered.” Two days later, on March 20, 2104, Hosein posted a picture of himself, wearing a long tunic, and Rapone, wearing a turban and a long tunic, with the caption: “The brothers are gonna work it out.”

    Two days later, on March 20, 2104, Hosein posted a picture of himself, wearing a long tunic, and Rapone, wearing a turban and a long tunic, with the caption, “The brothers are gonna work it out.”

    On March 23, 2014, Rapone posted about anti-corporatism and racism. On March 24, 2014, Rapone posted a picture of himself and Hosein in front of the Taj Mahal.

    Later that year, on August 19, 2014, Rapone posted a picture that showed them in a classroom with another soldier. “The Intelligentsia,” the caption read. Hosein was tagged in the picture, suggesting they were Facebook friends at the time.

    A review of Rapone’s Facebook page shows that over time, since 2014, his posts became increasingly anti-racism, anti-Israel, pro-Muslim, pro-Communist, anti-military, and anti-police.
    And while he was AT West Point, he wrote an article calling to abolish WEST POINT. Why is he still in the Army?!?!?!?

    On January 5, 2015, he posted a Slate.com article calling for the abolishment of West Point.

    I guess I just kinda figured the military academies somehow avoided the liberal takeover of higher education.

    I am fairly certain they are usually good at concealing their affiliation and beliefs even after they work for the military.

    Just that dumbass must express his commieness in public.

    He seems like a really good candidate for the next perpetrator of mass "workplace violence" on a military base.

    I wonder if becoming a professional soldier would be all that high on his list of career goals if the country he is serving didn't have a giant capitalist gorilla backing him.

    I'm sure his first combat tour would be his last if he pulls that shit with his troops.

    He's former enlisted and was w/ Ranger Batt out of Savannah (1st or 3rd? I can never remember), w/ one tour to Afghanistan before he went green to gold.

    Wonder what he was like in Batt. Might be interesting to check out socnet for threads. Surely someone over there knew him or knows someone who did.
