Army investigating West Point grad’s pro-communist social media posts
Just Like Obama |
The Army was quick to announce it was looking into the messages posted by 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone, issuing a statement on Tuesday saying, "Second Lieutenant Rapone's actions in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army."
"As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. Second Lieutenant Rapone's chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter. The academy is prepared to assist the officer's chain of command as required," the statement continued.
Rapone put out two visibly pro-communist posts on Twitter this week, including one in which he voiced his support for Argentine communist revolutionary Che Guevara. "In case there was any lingering doubt, hasta la victoria siempre," Rapone tweeted on Monday, along with a picture of him revealing a red shirt adorned with Guevara's face under his uniform.
