An ACTUAL Communist

It just goes to show, that no unit, nor organization is immune from the infiltration of shitbirds. They always seem to sneak in from time to time.

I have a bigger issue with the fact that "sneaking" was in no way a part of it for this dude. It was clearly out in the open.

I foresee him getting caught in a "crossfire" at some point in the future if he in fact ever deploys.

The Raconteur's thoughts in a comment at Concerned American's lounge-

He’s committed no less than 22 specific, chargeable, black-letter violations of the UCMJ.
https://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2017/09/retirement-announcement.html
His command is investigating, and I’d expect he’ll be relieved, arrested, charged, and under confinement within 48 hours or so.
https://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2017/09/about-to-be-shat-upon-from-great-height.html
His security clearance will be revoked immediately, which makes him unable to exercise the duties of any officer; and owing to his service obligation for attending West Point, it could take some good number of years under confinement (ideally, at hard labor) after reduction to the lowest enlisted grade before a separation discharge under dishonorable conditions is granted.
Which also saddles him with a federal felony rapsheet for life.
Hope he enjoyed voting or legally owning a gun before, because from here on out, those two, as well as anything requiring bonding or licensure will be closed off to him.
And even odds West Point will retroactively strip his degree, and refer to him as a revoked non-grad.
But he’ll still owe the costs, including room, board, etc.

At the end of the day he knows he is a dead man walking, but he also knows that as soon as he is out of uniform he will be making major bank, and as a hero of the Left/Antifa/commies, he will not have to work a day in his life.
 
^^ Truth. Imagine the speaking engagement $$$ he will make as a victim of the Conservative Right. He will travel from College to College recounting his persecution and tribulations.......

He'd have been better off to pull this stunt w that traitor Obama in the WH.

I'd love to see his command make an example of him and abide by the UCMJ.

Not entirely unrelated, deserter Bergdahl supposedly had a final pre-trial hearing this week. Court Martial to start in October. Could be a wave of examples?
 
28-year Army (retired Colonel?) Kurt Schlichter at Town Hall dot com on what's become of his Army and the Navy, and most of the rest of the military -

I don’t enjoy saying that – it gives me no pleasure to have to wonder whether the Army I served in both in active and reserve status for close to 28 years is broken. And it’s not just the Army. The Marines and the Special Ops community, well, they seem to be holding on to the standards the rest have forgotten, but the Navy and the Air Force – they’re broken too. Our military – in terms of strategy, equipment, and leadership, is in crisis. American troops will die if we don’t fix it.

And-

We need to know exactly what the faculty and staff at West Point knew about Comrade Cadet Rapone’s treachery. If they did know – and I bet we will find out that he was counseled in writing about it – every officer from his first line supervisor to the USMA Superintendent must be relieved and reprimanded. West Point is supposed to be the heart of the Army, but we may find that, after the pernicious influence of Obama and his ilk, it won’t even take its own side in a fight.

So....not really related but kinda: I know a guy, an Army medic. Wears the SF patch on his right shoulder. He tells people he was SF. Oh, OK...are you tabbed? No, but I was with SF for combat operations. Oh, OK...we you in a combined task force outside the wire? No, but I was attached to SF. So after pulling teeth over semantics, it turns out he was indeed attached to SF...did out-processing physicals for the B detachment. Never left the wire. But good for wearing the SF patch on the right arms because he was with SF in a combat zone greater than some magical number of days.

My brother served with a guy that had the same senerio. He didn't complete... or even try rip but had a SF patch. The guy never saw combat not even in the infantry.
 
Sworn statement regarding an incident at the Point involving Rapone...this speaks volumes, but really begs the question if all this was previously known, why was he allowed to graduate? He is the very definition of "insider threat"...it also seems to indicate the Point has larger problem with "insider threats"...Professor Rasheed Hosein...appears he was a primary mentor of Rapone's and even traveled to India with him...guess what he teaches...Middle East History.

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, 2014, 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.”

Hopefully you can open and read the attached pdf

Wow.
 
I can't fathom how they let him even graduate, given that sworn statement. That's just beyond absurd.

And WTF is wrong when a LTC with command experience can't handle a punk-ass kid with an attitude? Never a good NCO around when you need one.

Good point, but I also worry about the Academy that either fostered (sickening to think) or tolerated the evolution of his mindset. I worry about his classmates, who don't recognize a malignant cancer, not to mention his instructors. I worry about the subversive effects he's already had in his unit(s). I worry about an Army that thinks even a wee bit of Communism might not be too bad a thing.

He's already serving the antifa/BLM cause. How many of his Army brethren can he count on?

I'd like to point something out here, with respect to human behavior.

Our core values are set at an early age. They are the direct result of how a person is brought up, their environment, and their personality.

What are "core values"? Core values are the fundamental beliefs of a person, and by "fundamental", I mean the bedrock upon which all other beliefs and actions are evaluated and built upon. They are set at an early age and they cannot be changed easily...it takes a dedicated effort by an individual to alter their fundamental beliefs, and it takes a long time.

Core values are concepts such as honesty, integrity, loyalty, compassion, religious beliefs, etc.

Core values are fairly well set before a person reaches double digit ages and they become progressively more difficult to alter as a person continues to age. By the time any person has reached college age, their core values have long since been cemented into being.

This person's core values had already long since set him upon the path he has chosen with respect to Communism...the military academy had nothing to do with this.

Chief, I read your post and didn't agree with the thrust of it, before I realized you'd quoted me. I don't want this to sound like I'm arguing with you.

Agree that some kids' core values are formed early. But, that is just not universally true. And it's getting less true incrementally, as a significant element of our society seems in favor of prolonging childhood. They are dumbed down and protected from harm and responsibility. Many of them exhibit characteristics of such values, but without the actual character inside.

That may be true, but there's no evidence of it. There is, however, evidence implying that something wicked in him was nurtured while at West Point, whether it germinated there or not. Let's take a hard look at this Hosein professor (EDIT: and every other possible corruption), I say.

He didn't just "magically" take up the mantle of communist. The underpinnings were already there.

Definitely a CIB along with AA and Parachutists Badges. I see an Afghanistan Campaign, a Good Cookie, a NCOPD ribbon and an overseas service ribbon; clearly prior enlisted with a recent officers commission. Can't tell but the highest appears to be an ARCOM

Good Cookie?

Anyone rushing to dismiss the Academy's role needs to read this. Breaks my heart.

Clip:
"Our beloved Military Academy has lost its way. It is a shadow of what it once was. It used to be a place where standards and discipline mattered, and where concepts like duty, honor, and country were real and they meant something. Those ideas have been replaced by extreme permissiveness, rampant dishonesty, and an inexplicable pursuit of mediocrity. Instead of scrambling to restore West Point to what it once was, the Academy’s senior leaders give cadets more and more privileges in a seeming effort to tum the institution into a third-rate civilian liberal arts college. Unfortunately, they have largely succeeded. The few remaining members of the staff and faculty who are still trying to hold the line are routinely berated, ignored, and ultimately silenced for their unwillingness to “go along with the program.” The Academy’s senior leaders simply do not want to hear their voices or their concerns. Dissent is crushed-I was repeatedly told to keep quiet at faculty meetings, even as a LTC, because my dissent was neither needed nor appreciated."

It is long, and there seems to be a script trying to force a tracking cookie through layers of firewall, but read the whole thing. It'll break your heart, too.

Not a chance. If he got a DD there'd have to be a court-martial and every left wing freaked out lawyer in the country would be there to defend him and make the Army look bad. The problem lies with his supervisors at WP who should have canned his ass when he was a plebe. I'd say he was a definite threat to anyone he serves with and I can't for the life of me see him getting any kind of security clearance.
 
He was just dumb enough to be caught, or thought there were enough others like him that it wouldn't matter.
Still, the troubling question remains- how many other “Spenser Rapones” are in military service, particularly ones who can keep their mouths shut?
Click to expand...
Guess we aren't quite there yet with the military, but it won't be long now. They have the rest of the institutions already. :(
A subsequent investigation revealed that Rapone was not only openly Communist, but believed that the US Government must be destroyed from within, his beliefs operating the lines of Communist philosopher Rudi Dutschke’s strategy of the “long march through the institutions.”

Buh bye.

Not too snowflake friendly: no bennies with that discharge. No VA benefits, no GI Bill, and it can haunt him if he ever applies for a security clearance.

So the same as 93% as the rest of the country. How cruel.

Anyone who gives this guy a security clearance should have theirs revoked.

Sorry for the snark but I think the punishment should have been much more severe.

Point taken. It is what it is. For a vet, not having some of these resources (especially the VA bennies) can be tough.

His actions are despicable, and he's achieved douche first class status, but aside from writing a book or working for some loony-left non-profit or website, his job options will be severely limited. I think fate/karma will take care of the light punishment. I don't think he's going to have a good life.
