In one
photo, 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone is seen wearing a Che Guevara shirt under his
uniform. WHO
IS Che Guevara? In the other photo, he reveals the words “communism
will win” are written inside his hat. The photos were taken at his
graduation in May 2016.
Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio wants officials at West Point to revoke the commission of an
officer who tweeted photos of himself with pro-communist messages while in
uniform. Rubio wrote to acting Army
Secretary Ryan McCarthy this week, calling the images an “extreme embarrassment”
for the U.S. military, according to the Military Times.
“It is extremely
concerning that someone who so often expressed such hostile views towards the
United States’ system of government was able to obtain a commission,” he wrote.
“(His) revolutionary ideas were harbored long before he was commissioned as an Army
second lieutenant. Were West Point administrators or faculty aware of his views
and behavior?”
In 2011,
Rapone was deployed to Afghanistan with 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment,
but was later “removed for standards” from the regiment. That’s when he headed
off to West Point.
Rapone is
currently serving in the field with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain
Division. The division has opened an investigation in to his political
activities. He’s been awarded with the
Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, an Army
Achievement Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with a single campaign star,
and the Combat Infantryman Badge.
He posted photos
to Twitter a couple weekends ago in support of NFL sideline protests of the
national anthem. “In case there was any lingering doubt, hasta la victoria siempre,” Rapone wrote in
one post. “Hasta la victoria siempre”
is a phrase linked to guerrilla leader Che Guevara, which means “until
victory, always.”
Senator Rubio
this week wrote that “posts on social media by Rapone broadcast
his devotion to the communist cause and his
plans to infiltrate and sabotage the military.”
“His conduct,
writings, and sympathies for American adversaries predates his commission in
the Army,” Rubio said. “Therefore,
I respectfully request the United States Army immediately nullify Rapone’s
commission and pursue all available disciplinary options under the Uniform Code
of Military Justice. Rapone should be required to pay back in full the cost of
his education, and the United States Military Academy should consider revoking
his degree.”
Rubio also wants West Point to provide relevant
information on West Point’s efforts to “ensure cadets who actively support the
destruction of our government do not waste more taxpayer funds or prevent a
more worthy candidate from attending.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: Having served in the military myself, and while I respect
this America hating Communist’s right to express anything he believes in, he
just can’t be allowed to do it while he is in a U.S. military uniform. This my friend is one of the examples that I
have been writing about for years, the infiltration of the enemy into every
aspect of the U.S. government. The inclusion
of Muslim Jihadist and Communist activists in our
military is just a very minuscule part of the mass infiltration of America’s enemies
into our security agencies, our justice system, our state and federal legislatures,
and yes even in the Whitehouse, as we experienced with the last president. Here is
just one of hundreds of examples.
Hooah! Need I say more?
