Commie Army officer discharged

[Prudii]

West Point grad who posed with 'Communism will win' in cap discharged

From what I read he voluntarily resigned after a reprimand for conduct unbecoming an officer.
As I understand it had more to do with him being a massive twit than his political ideology.

Also he was stationed in NY.

 

[Beah]

I saw this too, such a DB...I heard hes changing his name to Ned Isakoff.

 

[MadScientist]

Sure as hell doesn't sound like 'winning' to me

Awfully dumb for someone who was accepted to and graduated from West Point.

He failed to complete his contract so he has to pay back the student loan now. Apparently West Point is running around $350,000 these days.

Hope the commie bastard goes bankrupt and lives in poverty the rest of his days as he pays back the govt for his west point education. If he commits suicide because of the oppressive debt...well let's just say I won't lose any sleep over that.

Fucking asshole. Why didn't his fellow classmates beat the living shit out of him?

IIRC didn't he serve as a combat vet in Afganistan before enrolling into West Point? I believe one of his teachers corrupted him. Damn shame.

Edit: he was also member of 1st Ranger Battalian and served combat ops in Afganistan before enrolling and being accepted to West Point. Believe that is Special Ops. I don't agree with the socialist crap but walk a mile in his shoes... Just saying...

That’s why among other reasons he’s an idiot.

I believe "other than honorable" discharge is a DQ on a 4473 but correct me if I'm wrong.

To @cgrutt - plenty of people have done and been through all kinds of shit, it doesn't make them inherently good people. Screw this shitbird. Just my opinion, of course.

I'm not saying he's inherently good and certainly don't think he should be a US military officer or otherwise. Just think in this case something happened to him to change so radically. I seem to recall reading last year that one of his professors had something to do with it.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Well I will say this, I read an op-ed a year or two ago by an officer / professor there who resigned because he couldn't take the way the standards had changed. From what I gather USMA ain't what it once was.

 

[Toecutter]

If he was promoting a communist revolution . He should of been put on a fence post and shot.

7 things you need to know about the West Point communist saga

Father says he was very patriotic in High School and changed after coming back from Afganistan. Had Muslim mentor at West Point who was placed on leave which West Point says was unrelated (Yeah right).

IDK saying USMA is not what it once was because the actions of a few bad people seems just as bad and intellectually dishonest as vilifying all gun owners after a school (or other) shooting. JMO.

 

[Doc8404]

Let’s hope they kick the professor out too.
Anything on that?

He won’t need to pay the money back.
It will be worked into his multimillion dollar contract with CNN.

Edit to add

Rapone’s mentor at West Point is now on administrative leave

While attending West Point, Spenser Rapone was mentored by Rasheed Hosein a professor of Middle East history, who is now on administrative leave for reasons unknown. Hosein holds a Ph.D in Islamic history from the University of Chicago. His biography on the West Point website lists Rapone as one of several “cadets advised.”

A West Point spokesman told Breitbart News that Hosein’s leave is unrelated to Rapone.

According to Breitbart News, photos from Rapone’s Facebook page indicate that in 2014, Rapone accompanied Hosein on a trip to the Taj Mahal. Breitbart News’ Kristina Wong writes, “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.”

Correct. You should be on a Metro North commuter train when these idiots get on at the Garrison station. I would not want them to be leading my son or daughter anywhere. Most act like Animal House rejects.
