Even his dad is, understandably, pissed:

Quote:
. . . to add to the avalanche of trouble crashing down toward Rapone, his father, Lawrence County Treasurer Richard L. Rapone, also weighed in on his son’s actions. According to the Daily Caller, Richard posted a now private or deleted message that expressed great sadness and disappointment toward his son’s disregard for his future, and his country.

“In regards to my son Spencer Rapone, I disavow his political views and overall politics,” wrote Rapone’s father. “I am very disappointed in the direction he has chosen and as his father it greatly saddens me.”

Why not Harvard. Manning could show him around the campus and maybe they would get married.

What if this asshat had been in a position of trust? What damage could he have done. They need to go thru his past couple of years with a fine tooth comb. Him and Reality Winner were EO hires from the last administration. How many more are out there?

How in the hell does he get kicked out of a Ranger Battalion, then get into West Point? What am I missing?

How many folks were pushed through the Academies under the criminal enterprise that was the Obama regime? I figure a safe bet is that they put more than their fair share of commies through the Academies. LTG Caslen didn't help any either. I'm surprised they didn't offer a discipline in Global Warming; or, becoming a Social Justice Warrior.

Is he enemy domestic??? does he support N.

The problem with the young officers leading the smaller units is their immaturity and lack of life experience in the real world....I can't stand the starry eyed idealism of these young enthusiastic O's and you hear more and more of these young O's supporting these radical and idiotic Bernie Sanders types....not because they aren't educated enough to know they are usually at the age where reason hasn't taken hold yet. And its these young people that the Libtards prey upon because of their biological development has fully developed their executive function in their brains they are vulnerable to irrational ideas but eventually they grow up.

Sir, Rapone is a moron, and deserves whatever comes his way. Whatever his personal feelings, he doesn’t get to use his commission or service to amplify his statements.

When I hear " West Point" I see that image in my mind, a bit of a stain it is.

Che... a monster & tactically incompetent. Someone should go up to him with a t-shirt screened with the 'good' photo of Che - you know, the one before they cleaned him up.

This is what I've got so far. I'm open for suggestions on the text, font, etc. At a dozen, they run about $17.50 plus shipping, I think. Obviously more means less.

ETA: I'm not marketing, TS. If this happens it will be at cost.
