Poll of the Day > This 25 y/o SOCIALIST LIBERAL Quit the US Army and did THIS on his LAST DAY!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

25 y/o Spenser Rapone, a former army officer who sparked outrage by flaunting his COMMUNIST BELIEFS at his West Point graduation has QUIT his job after he wore a Che Chuevara T-Shirt under his dress uniform and scribbled "communism will win" under his hat his ceremony....but he left one last HURRAH before he left the academy!!

The 2nd LT received a less than honourable discharge after the army accepted his resignation as his actions earlier earned him a "conduct unbecoming of an officer" reprimand from Fort Drum's 10th Mountain Division where he was stationed

An investigation found out he advocated for a socialist revolution and attacked his high ranking officers and US officials

He summed up the fallout with one tweet yesterday that showed his feelings of the U S Military and wrote "One Final Salute"

He's an AFGHAN VETERAN who said the images he posted were intentionally shocking as he smirked on supporting socialist policies

He drew firestorm among conservatives and DEATH THREATS as he became known as the "commie cadet" but he continued to showcase his support for socialism at a conference in July and said "I consider myself a revolutionary socialist. I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperalism and join us in a revolutionary movement"

He said his belief in communism grew out of his experience as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan before he was accepted in the US Military Academy. It hardened during his studies of history.

He also tweeted in solidarity with NFL QB COLIN KAEPERNICK after he took heat for kneeling at the national anthem to raise awareness of racism. Many other military personnel also tweeted in favour of Kaepernick almost most were supporting free speech, not communism.

Marco Rubio asked that he be dismissed as his actions sparked TREASON for supporting a belief that americans whole heartedly reject. Upon hearing the news, Marco CHEERED and said he was glad that "un-american" fiends were booted from the army

He grew up in Pennsylvania along with 6 other siblings in a working class family who said he applied to West Point because he couldn't afford college.

Since joining the army, he said "We were bullies in one of the poorest countries on Earth. We have one of the most technocally advanced militaries of all ti me and all we were doing is brutalizing and invading and terrorizing a population that had nothing to do with what the United States claimed was a threat"

He thought he was idealistic however that he could change things from the inside but he couldn't as everyone already had one mindset to go on.

He finally said "I knew there could be repercussions. Of course my miliary career is dead in the water. On the other hand, many people reached out and showed me support. There are a lot of veterans both active duty and not that feel like i do"

He was nominated by then Democrat Congressman, Jason Altmire in 2010 who said he was an honours student, athlete and model citizen who volunteered as he expressed patriotism and did not see any red flags at the time.

Do you think Spenser is a "traitor"?

This has to be satire, surely by this point everyone's figured out the irony of purchasing a Che Guevara T-Shirt from 1st world corporations that produce them in third world sweatshops. Also no he is objectively not a traitor, just a moron.

From everything that I've heard of Fort Drum, his response seems reasonable

It's not traitorous to believe in something. Treason is giving comfort and/or aid to the enemy. Purchasing a shirt that supports communism is being an ironic dumbass, not a traitor.

And as someone who was stationed in Fort Drum, I don't know a single person that didn't flip off the sign when they left for the last time. Most of us didn't boast about it on social media though...

In a much bigger story, Full Throttle actually used this sentence structure correctly since a "conduct unbecoming of an officer" reprimand can in fact lead to a less than honorable discharge.

Marco Rubio asked that he be dismissed as his actions sparked TREASON

Another correct usage. His actions did lead to Marco Rubio asking that he be dismissed.

but he couldn't as everyone already had one mindset to go on.

That is a reason for him to be unable to change things.

Well done, Full Throttle. You didn't even call anyone a demeaning name.

Well, advocating revolution against your own government seems to fall under the umbrella. Granted, it's not a terribly serious form of treason but, you know, still...
