http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/09/fort_drum_investigates_soldier_for_tweets_supporting_kaepernick_communism.htmlThe photos posted on Twitter this week by 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone show him at his West Point graduation in May with a message under his cap stating, "Communism will win." He used the hashtag, "Veterans for Kaepernick."
A second photo Monday on Twitter shows Rapone with a Che Guevara T-shirt under his uniform and the message, "In case there was any lingering doubt, hasta la victoria siempre."

A military doctor was fired for being a birther, and refusing to report to his assignment since in his view, "Obama is not the CnC, since he was born in Kenya."
The right-wing made this asshole into a martyr, complete with a book about his "struggle."
Don't make this other asshole a martyr either.
