#13  "who came from a good family."

Another old-money spoiled brat. Lucky for him he got booted out. In combat, things happen, ya know. Likely he was an up and coming recipient of a "friendly fire" incident.

#11  The former Democratic congressman who nominated communist 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone to West Point is now disavowing Rapone’s recent comments, which range from attacks on Secretary of Defense James Mattis to calls for political violence.

Former Democratic Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania
told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Rapone’s long history of extremist tweets, which include calling Mattis an “evil, vile f****,” is shocking, disappointing and abhorrent.

“Several years ago, I met Spenser Rapone when he was a high school student seeking an appointment to West Point,” Altmire said. “At the time, he was an outstanding, well-rounded student who came from a good family. I have not been in touch with him in the years since the appointment, and I was shocked and extremely disappointed in the recent reports of his indefensible actions.”

#8  American taxpayers spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars paying for radical Marxist Spenser Rapone to receive a world-class education and officer training at the United States Military Academy.

#7  A failure of the Honor System if this wasn't sniffed out earlier. It seems odd that his roommates, classmates, or teachers were all totally unaware of his antics.

#6  As he was at West Point under 'less than honorable' circumstances (couldn't possibly be planning to defend the Constitution) then it's fitting.

#5  ...just because he knows the difference between a tank, APC, and self propelled artillery, versus the usual journalism school grad.

#3  Well, the army never 'investigated' MAJ Nidal Hasan until it was much too late.

#2  ...I'm not sure if I have confidence that the Army is investigating the living daylights out of everybody who ever so much as said 'Good Morning' to him. He wasn't alone in this, and I fear it's not the last.
