>Less than a year after Rapone’s images drew a firestorm of vitriol and even death threats, the second lieutenant who became known as the “commie cadet” is officially out of the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge.

>Top brass at Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division accepted Rapone’s resignation Monday after an earlier reprimand for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.” Rapone said an investigation found he went online to advocate for a socialist revolution and disparage high-ranking officers and U.S. officials. Officially, the Army said in a statement only that it conducted a full investigation and “appropriate action was taken.”

>An unrepentant Rapone summed up the fallout in yet another tweet Monday that showed him extending a middle finger at a sign at the entrance to Fort Drum, accompanied by the words, “One final salute.”

somebody please frag his traitorous dumbass

well now that he's out, would be a shame if he died in some freak accident

This is great.

Yes. The US military has lost every war since the beginning of the century and even more wars after WW2, and that's with it's allies doing the heavy lifting

10th Mountain are all awful retards anyway.

Are you some sort of dimension hopper? did you not know that we steam rolled the Saddam regime in the Iraq war?

> An unrepentant Rapone summed up the fallout in yet another tweet Monday that showed him extending a middle finger at a sign at the entrance to Fort Drum, accompanied by the words, “One final salute.”

> “I consider myself a revolutionary socialist,” the 26-year-old Rapone told The Associated Press. “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 imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.”

They admitted this pathetic fuck into West Point but rejected me because I was one year too old...

The whole thing is a joke and a paper tiger these days.
At one point the academies actually meant something, but these days they just ride on the coattails of their famous past alumni and only accept shiny porcelain rich kids.
The US military used to fight wars, but instead it has taken a liking to playing in the sandbox like some child and losing all of its parent's money amidst the sand.

T. Butthurt mutt. Your shitty population isn't capable of shit. The American people are fat lazy cucks that don't resist against gun laws and are brainwashed fat fucks that are totally incapable of fighting . Your shitty military has lost every war against third world countries even with the help of it's allies who always do the heavy lifting. Face it: your piece of crap empire isn't the center of the world and America isn't the greatest country. You aren't special and the whole world is laughing at you mutts

>I wonder what he's up to though.

He's writing fag shit for fag rags. Observe:

socialistworker.org/2018/11/01/refuse-to-follow-trumps-orders

>Two renowned antiwar veterans — Rory Fanning, a former resister and author of Worth Fighting For: An Army Ranger’s Journey Out of the Military and Across America, and Spenser Rapone, who was kicked out of the military for posting a photo of himself at his West Point graduation ceremony with an antiwar sign under his hat — issued this statement calling on U.S. soldiers to defy the order of their commander-in-chief if they are called to the Southern border.

Also getting interviewed by cocksuckers:

jacobinmag.com/2018/10/spenser-rapone-interview-communist-army

>Fanning — himself a former Army Ranger — spoke with Rapone at the Socialism 2018 conference in Chicago earlier this year. They discussed Rapone’s time in the military, the myths of American empire, and how to rebuild the antiwar movement.

They have slots for the enlisted, it's way easier to get in that way.

No. The amount of natural resources, lake of powerful neighbors, oceans seperating us from europe and asia and a population of over 300 million are not to be taken lightly. Even with the countries racial and social problems when faced with a serious enemy people can be rallied to join/support the millitary like the years right after 9/11.
If the military is faced with a conventional enemy and doesnt have its hands tied behind its back by ROE any other country will get their shit pushed in.

yes they are but its comical retardation

I don't mind an anti-war sentiment, but it's the fucking extremist communist shit that I can't stand.
If it weren't for the US being the way that it is then these fucks would have had the rope as soon as they started protesting this crap.

The nation and ideals that gives them freedom to be this way is what they want to tear down...
Fucking bizarre people.

TS 1989

This. The US can't even agree on enforcing its borders, it is not in condition to wage a real war.

didn't we just tell a bunch of refugees to fuck off?

thats what being completely self-centered does to you. You never realize how smelly your bullshit is

They probably will defy an order to actually defend the country the Federal govt is named after.

how did this fuck make ranger?

He must have been a PT stud, he did get kicked out eventually.

He joined up during that time when the army was literally accepting anyone they could because they needed cannon fodder

He didnt. Note they mention airborne school and not ranger school. IIRC he was attached to a ranger unit for a very brief time and they kicked him out

He only became a commie after he went to afghanistan. When he initially joined up he was a normal person who was motivated to do well.

Ok Eurofag

Doesn't this fuck with China shills or something?

yeh non US here ex-army here, what are the standards like these days? i'd imagine marines have kept up but last time i checked the army was handing out "time out" cards and allowing mobile phones during basic

Did it never occur to him that if he actually wanted to harm the US army, then it would have made more sense to stay in with the explicit intent of acting as a saboteur?

Attached: th.jpg (300x300, 9K)

Canada American here I'll do her for a two four, bud.

If you read his interview he explains this. He knew he was going to kicked out eventually because he had posted a bunch of retarded commie shit on facebook. So he basically decided to go out on his own terms by posting the hat photo. It's a case of "You can't fire me - I quit!"

Okay Russian troll. If America is all fat fucks then why do we dominate in the olympics? What wars have we lost? Vietnam was not a failure since we achieved more kills and stopped further Commie plague , Korea was called to stalemate since China would never allow US troops on its border, we fucked Iraq twice which had decent weapons and fifth largest army, Afghanistan and Iraq were successes since no major terror attacks have been carried out on American soil? Allies don't do shit with all the military aid we pay and enormous NATO funding. America is the greatest country since we control the world only after 242 years of being around.

> The US is the richest country in the world, in part because it has exploited countries in Latin America for decades. If you treat people from these countries like criminals, as Trump hopes you will, you only contribute to the legacy of pillage and plunder beneath our southern border.

> We need to confront this history together, we need to confront the reality of America’s wealth and both share and give it back with these people. Above all else, we cannot turn them away at our door.

> By every moral or ethical standard it is your duty to refuse orders to “defend” the US from these migrants.

I heard that if you’re from china a worm will be on your computer and if it sees that it flags you down

We dominate the world in offensive weaponry it's just China and Russia base their military on defending US weapons. China and Russia could never do incredible damage to the US military unless the US military were to attack them first

We didn't back it up with the wall

>consider myself a revolutionary socialist
As a canuck he literal trash.
Socialism ruined our country, dont let it happen to you america.

Who can we fight besides the muslims and you know they will never concide.

Good. The nation needs you to be bitter and miserable. Carry on, devil dawg.

Except Vietnam because we can blame the left's for it.
The minute we pulled out is the minute the south vietnamese were attacked.

I'm 100% certain he had every intention of undermining the US military, and has no authentic philosophy behind his actions.

Allow? Why would that matter if we didnt get our asses kicked?

Behold, the Boomer. Behold him everyone.

I’ve heard no one actually likes west point grads not other officers or enlisted

so he tried to irl troll the fucking military? absolute scum. whines about "violence", doesn't care that his actions could directly lead to his "buddies" dying. shitbag should be in leavenworth

then you're one of the lucky ones. we're the only country anyone needs. just go visit the third world if you don't believe me, see how shitty most people who are alive today have it compared to you.

ya don't have to be a soldier to do your part and be a patriot. there are patriot janitors who would make general washington beam a mile-wide smile.

Well, to be honest, we did have firearms and small pox on our side. I'm all for helping natives that want to better themselves, but after visiting the Pine Ridge reservation, I don't think there's much to help, sadly.

I really hope that your CIAs fuckers are gonna pull some trick to them, you can't have traitors in your ranks, It doesn't matter if you put them to some useless unit, this people may spread their disease to others, they may damage the valid individuals.

I don't know what you are doing, but I hope that they are gonna eat them alive as soon as they can.

If it was for me next year they are gonna die in some freak accidents or suicided.
