| Spenser Rapone — the Army soldier who became notorious after a picture of him in his West Point uniform holding a “Communism Will Win” sign went viral — was discharged from the Army this month, according to social media postings.
Rory Fanning, a former Army Ranger and conscientious objector, tweeted on Tuesday that he was sitting down and interviewing Rapone for an event called: “Socialism 2018: A War Resister in the Ranks,” scheduled for July 5.
A description of the event said:
Rapone first gained widespread attention in September after he tweeted the picture of himself at his 2016 West Point graduation holding the “Communism Will Win” sign under his cover, or hat, along with the hashtag #VeteransforKaepernick, in support of former San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Members of the military are prohibited from expressing political views while in uniform. He also tweeted a photo of himself wearing a Che Guavara t-shirt under his uniform.
West Point and the Army subsequently launched an investigation, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a staunch anti-Communist, demanded answers from Army leadership. Rapone’s mentor at West Point, Professor Rasheed Hosein, was on administrative leave at the time of the controversy, as Breitbart News exclusively reported. A West Point spokesperson said the action was unrelated to Rapone. Breitbart News inquired Tuesday with West Point about the status of its investigation into Rapone. The request was forwarded to the Army headquarters at the Pentagon, but a response has not yet been received. Fanning, a book author and Afghanistan veteran, called Rapone a “now war-resister.” “Our conversation will be called ‘Resisting Within the Ranks.’ Spenser is being discharged from the military with an Other Than Honorable discharge this June, in part, because [Marco] Rubio penned a panic-stricken letter to acting Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy demanding the branch nullify Rapone’s military commission after seeing this photo.” Rapone retweeted Fanning’s tweet. The event page for Socialism 2018 said the two would discuss “what does it mean to resist as an active duty soldier in the 21st century?” “Social revolutions share a vibrant historical legacy with disaffected,” it said. |

This dirty commie should be sued to recover the costs of his West Point education. They've done that before to, for instance, doctors who refuse to honor their obligation to serve after the military paid for their education. Why should he get such an elite education for free when he had no intention of honoring his oath.
Notice the clenched Left fist he uses, just like the commie NFL players protesting the anthem by raising a fist toward the singing of our anthem.
Anyway, it makes a good follow-up to the story.

..."And tell Kaepernick he needs to do a better job scrubbing those urinals."

He's correct. The radical left has won every major battle for 70 years.

Need we read more?
That's a pretty low-key effete clenched fist. I guess any higher and the guys around him might have seen it and knocked him/it on his/its azz. The cadet in the background appears to notice the pathetic photo op.
This dirty commie should be sued to recover the costs of his West Point education... Why should he get such an elite education for free when he had no intention of honoring his oath.
Yes, he *should* be sued for grand theft, and lying and reneging on his original intent. Now this despicable self-loathing POS Leftist is exploiting his situation (like Kaep) to warp the truth, promote "The Resistance", and slander America.
Odds are Rapone AND Fanning both two more projecting queers with chips on their shoulders, pissy that their perversions are frowned upon by their peers.

I noticed him too but I doubt he knew what that pic was about.
You have to wonder who took the "Communism will win" photo of the pinko cadet? It's strange that we've never found out who took that photo.

If so, it's only because the radical Left has been aided and abetted by fake Republican NWO globalists like the Bushes, McConnells and Ryans.
The Founder's America, aka Constitutionals, have has been trying to fend off an open frontal attack by Democrats (now ostensibly Commies). If they were the only enemies, the Left would and could not win at every turn.
If Trump doesn't remove the Uni-Party saboteurs from their lairs by his presumed second term, the US republic will become a killing fields. Frankly, I don't know this would shake out after the dust clears. Only a two-state solution makes sense for the USA at this point.

Good catch.
Commie should be put in prosecuted for treason. This is infiltration by the enemy.

socialism/communism has done more damage to the world than any religion or other form of government! If these haters of themselves would just do the world a favor and kill themselves how much better life would be for everyone else!
