Real. Discovered after he was commissioned. I believe the name was Spenser Rapone. i even think he has a RP profile. he was separated from the Army at his first duty station by the GCMCA.

I absolutely abhor the WP but I did read the article. Thanks for posting.

“There are a lot of veterans both active duty and not that feel like I do,” he (Rapone) said.
That is really scary.

To really know Communism is to truly hate Communism. Those that think it is grand are delusional.

It was real. He was given the boot after an investigation. This was not the only pic he put on social media declaring his allegiance to communism

His actions were so blatant, that one might suspect that he did it to get out of his military commitment without having to pay back for his WP education. It wouldn’t be the first time a SM pulled a stunt to get out of a military commitment.
