#1 A frustrated 'email' commenter opines:

We have seen this before. MAJ Nidal Hasan MD and his "Soldier of Allah" business cards and his Islamist lectures on Army time. There were plenty of people who knew about his Islamist radical leanings, but he was not only retained in the service, but was promoted. Apparently no one learned anything from the Ft. Hood "workplace violence" incident.

Except for LTC Heffington.

He paid attention to Rapone's social media crap and discovered a full blown Marxist in the ranks. When he brought it to the attention of senior members of the faculty and staff of the Academy, he was promptly ignored.

When I was in the advanced course at the Ft. Benning School For Boys, we had one very outspoken instructor whose guidance generally consisted of the phrase "Bayonet Da Commie ****suckers In Da Troat!!!" He was a man of few words, but immense wisdom.

So, in the case of 2LT Rapone, I suggest interrogating everyone close to him, room mates etc, and every instructor he had as well as the senior staff at the Academy and find out who knew about Rapone and who did nothing about it. And they should all be cashiered. Pour Encourager Les Autres.

Then give LTC Heffington a promotion to Major General and his choice of Division to command.

#2 Apparently, they also need to clear out the contract instructors who peddle the left crap pushed on America's campuses. Then go to the Army retired files and find some instructors with the background to be new faculty. They're out there.

Over the Obama years the unsupervised hiring of the contractor instructors allowed the liberals in the tent...time to throw their sandals outta the tent.

#4 I blame Obama and his cronies for all this; Rapone, the sad state of the Navy, the Shaw AFB thing. It just goes on and on. Willful acts of subversion and infiltration. There must be a crushing response.

#5 There must be crushing response. Shut down the USMA for 10 years or so, to get rid of the dead wood & to encourage les autres. Then re-found the academy under all new staffing. Rely on Army ROTC in the meantime.

#6 Did they push him thru because of his attachment to that congressidiot?

None of this makes any sense.

#7 He's the sort of "intellectual" they are looking for. More likely to be promoted than drummed out.
