 Figures, notice the Sherman shirt.

West Point graduate and now former Army infantry officer Spenser Rapone has been processed out of the U.S. Army and received an other than honorable discharge from the military after a photo he posted with his West Point cap and the words “Communism will win” went viral.

Rapone came under fire last year for his social media posts of socialist and communist content. He went viral after posting a photo to Twitter of himself in support of professional football player Colin Kaepernick, where Rapone is seen in his West Point uniform at graduation holding his cap that contains a piece of paper that says “Communism will win.”

  1. After he is canned, he needs to get caned. For those too young to remember... google "Michael Fay". For those too lazy to do that just click here: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3c9_1304013159

    And yes, Singapore has a low crime rate.

    1. I once heard citizens there value others by their net worth, which sounds bad. And I suspect the government frowns on unwanted views, might especially frown on you. However, they could of course realise that you're far from a threat.

      I have talked with people from Singapore online, briefly. They were unusually polite.

      But I wouldn't know.

      I've only landed there a few times but heard there isn't any trash at all on the ground.

  2. Way overdue. There's no excuse for not identifying and bouncing that guy much earlier.

    1. Yes and I thought they were going to let this slide.

  3. What is so amazing about the Communist Manifesto?

    I swear if our side had an equivalent little booklet, it would surprise these people. Preaching raw libertarianism isn't going to work, but there are alternative arguments against socialism that are appealing.

    This might lose support for Communism: http://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-when-stalin-almost-conquered-europe/

    The author of the article is Jewish, and is also the owner of the site; but he seems to pursue truth, which is fascinating.

    Pat Buchanan and others have argued the Soviets were planning to attack Germany, but now there seems to be much more evidence.

    1. Stalin was on the very verge of mounting a massive invasion and conquest of Europe, while Hitler’s sudden attack on June 22nd of that year was intended to forestall that looming blow.

      Thanks and I only read about this not too long ago. Fascinating. https://freenorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2018/06/american-pravda-when-stalin-almost.html

  4. ”…Rapone’s mentor at West Point, Professor Rasheed Hosein…”!!!

    WTF is a Muslim doing ‘mentoring’ at West Point in the first place? Have we gone entirely insane to the point of suicide? Who appointed him and will heads roll for that?

  5. It's unsupportable by any standard. In a country where we have a 50% chance of electing a communist as president, and even our conservative party does nothing to prevent communism, it's pretty silly to bounce out one cadet for his political views that matched those of the commander in chief at the time, several members in Congress and about 20% of army officers. Of course they don't come right out and say it, but when they actively support every point in the communist manifesto, it amounts to the same thing.

    1. 20% of army officers.

      Discouraging to say the least. They said he was forced to leave solely because of his actions while in uniform.

    2. AT LEAST 20%. As they get higher in rank, it's more. As a general, you never question your absolute authority over everyone junior to you, nor your responsibility to provide for them like a good communist enclave. Government clothing, housing, education, health care, child care, recreation. and higher rank means more perks. Just like the soviets

  6. Seems to me that since he failed to honor his post-West Point military commitment he owes us the price of his college education. Otherwise it's a pretty good scam; four years at West Point, wear a Che Guevara shirt, LTH discharge, and sayonara.

      & it's a lot. Disgraceful.

    2. Actually, it isn't that much since a WP education is technically free. No tuition is charged. Books and uniforms are taken from cadet pay.
      Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt.

    3. Not free for the taxpayer though.

  7. It does not matter what arena of American life that you go into as you will find all of them in the gutter and still seeking the bottom of the gutter. The military gutter contains the remnants of the general and staffers who shoved women into Ranger school and made damn sure they became Rangers even though their performance records were somehow lost. There are too many more examples in every branch in which to affirm that the gutter is home sweet home to the leadership. Now check out the gutter dwellers in religion, politics, business, education, or civil service. We are in Deep shit.
