<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMick sends a link to the Associated Press<\/a> which reports that Spenser Rapone has submitted a resignation of his commission as an Army officer to the 10th Mountain Division command;<\/p>\n Top brass at Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division accepted Rapone’s resignation Monday after an earlier reprimand for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.” Rapone said an investigation found he went online to advocate for a socialist revolution and disparage high-ranking officers and U.S. officials. Officially, the Army said in a statement only that it conducted a full investigation and “appropriate action was taken.”<\/p>\n An unrepentant Rapone summed up the fallout in yet another tweet Monday that showed him extending a middle finger at a sign at the entrance to Fort Drum, accompanied by the words, “One final salute.”<\/p>\n “I consider myself a revolutionary socialist,” the 26-year-old Rapone told The Associated Press in a series of interviews. “I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.”<\/p>\n Rapone said his journey to communism grew out of his experiences as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan before he was accepted into the U.S. Military Academy. And those views only hardened during his studies of history as one of the academy’s “Long Gray Line.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, OK – the Taliban made him a commie. <\/p>\n Here’s his farewell Tweet to Fort Drum;<\/p>\n One final salute #FTA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/JdyOYnEejJ<\/a><\/p>\n — Rudi (Dutschke) Can\u2019t Fail (@punkproletarian) June 18, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
