#1 Wonder if they're going to put a collection on his future earnings for failure to complete the contract? Well, he'll be a 'military' expert for CNN. It's a shoe in. He has an infinite amount of experience than any journalism grad.

Army Ranger in Afghanistan before he went to West Point, so yes. Was he a believing Communist when he signed up, or did that come later?

#6 Search the archives and ye shall find the answer — I added the archive link to Mr. Rapone’s name in the article, above. A comment to one of the articles, about Mr. Rapone’s West Point mentor being suspended, had a link to this:

CHELSEA MANNING INSPIRED COMMUNIST WEST POINT GRADUATE TO INFILTRATE THE MILITARY

Many thanks, Victor Emmanuel Ebbaise1246, for having added your bit to our collective knowledge.

There was also a post last October which pointed out that West Point had been officially informed about our merry miscreant’s attitudes, to whit (can’t have too many links in a comment or Fred’s spam filters won’t let it post):

Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert Heffington, an Academy history professor in 2015, had issued a sworn affidavit alerting senior USMA command about Rapone.

And thank goodness we now have a president who is the opposite of his Long-March-requiring predecessor in every way.

#7 I commend young Rapone's initiative on his totally genius one-man plan to infiltrate the Army, but taking selfies saying "Communism is going to win" is bad OPSEC. Also, Communism is stupid.

#8 Communism already lost.

See 1991.

#9 ...the Chinese seemed to have figured that one out. Keep the pomp and circumstance, but make a ~~dollar~~ yen! Clowns like him have no problem with "Make China Great Again!".
