To be honest SFC William Farrell in general I concur that 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone should be discharged from the Army.
However I do not think that Senator Marco Rubio is correct that West Point should revoke the U.S. Army officer commission of Spenser Rapone.
1. That decision was not a unilateral West Point decision.
2. Spenser Rapone met the requirements to graduate - at least on paper.
3. The U.S. Army Personnel system is responsible for verifying security clearances, etc for those cadets to be commissioned.
Somewhere along the line the communist affiliation of Spenser Rapone was not surfaced on time to stop hkm from graduating.
I think his post graduation attitude and posts should be sufficient to terminate his commission and discharge him once all required procedures have been completed/

It should be interesting to see how this turns out LTC Stephen F.. Maj John Bell seems to think it is not a bar to service but I feel quite the opposite.

Is there a difference in communism and republicanism? Yes and Article IV, Section IV states "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion."
Now, do we not take an oath to defend the US Constitution? If you take that oath, you need to defend a republican form of government. If you can't, you do not belong in the military, period. We are being invaded, not by a foreign enemy, but a foreign (to the US Constitution) ideology.

Sorry for all the typos, however, hopefully, I got enough typed right to make my personal moral view about such moronic stupidity on his part clear. Personal philosophy, fine, whatever, provided he'd have kept his yap shut, and that only maybe...being stupid enough to do that on camera, defacing a US Govt issue clothing article? That, at least for my part, for such an ostensibly bright kid, I just rather personally think not, thats all I'm trying to say...Howeverx, no one ever listens to me about such things, anyway...and besides, it wasn't evem my hat, you know? I'd just love to know what his whole family had to say about what the kid did...I'll bet all of you, they must've been totally mortified by the whole thing, guaranteed, ya think?
