My question would use the Gunnery Sergeant Hartman approach:
Why is Private Pyle out of his bunk after lights out?!
Why is Private Pyle holding that weapon?!
Why aren't you stomping Private Pyle's guts out?!
...so in memory of Gunny Hartman:
Why is Captain Rapone still in uniform after graduation ?
Why is Captain Rapone holding that sign in his hat?
Why isn't the US Army publicly stomping Captain Rapones guts out?

Yes, because a football player taking a knee during the national anthem, which, by the way, is protected speech, is the exact same thing as a commissioned officer who swore an oath to the Constitution espousing views antithetical to the values of classical liberalism our country was founded on.
Are you sure that you're not also an authoritarian?

Positive.
This leftist shit is just too in my face for my tastes.
I worked a lifetime in a thousand shades of gray environment - so I do get that the flag burners and other assholes have "the right" to argument.
I'm just clearly expressing my not so nuanced displeasure.

You can go ahead and remove the quotation remarks around "the right."
The issue has been settled.

Is that guy prior service enlisted(I noticed the decorations)?
I can't think of a single prior enlisted soldier I know who went officer who didn't turn out to be an above averaged officer.
This fella seems to have below average observation skills.
Looking at it "glass half full", better he is blatantly open about it, than hiding it and leveraging opportunities to exploit his afield ideology as he rises up the food chain.
Not that a 2nd LTs opinions matter or are even worth sharing, I would enjoy hearing his ramblings about why he is so enamoured with the failed ideology his very peers destroyed a generation ago.
