Army ouster for West Point grad Spenser Rapone
Spenser Rapone, a West Point graduate nicknamed the commie cadet, has been discharged from the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge. Fort Drum officials cited conduct unbecoming of an officer after an investigation found he advocated socialism online and disparaged senior officers. Rapone, 26, described himself as a revolutionary socialist and said soldiers should lay down arms to join a broader movement. He rose to prominence after posting provocative images from his graduation, and his views trace back to his Army Ranger service and academy years.
