The life of West Point graduate 2nd. Lt. Spenser Rapone could hardly be more dichotomic. On one hand, he endured enemy fire during a several-month deployment to Afghanistan. On the other, he filled his social media accounts with nothing but disdain for America and its founding principles.
His Instagram has been taken down and his Twitter and Facebook profiles have been set to private. But from what can still be gathered online, Rapone posted on social media perhaps hundreds of posts expressing contempt for his country and support for communism, an ideology that calls for the forcible destruction of traditional values, principles, and freedoms, including those guaranteed by the Constitution.
