I wonder how he got that far? Had he graduated...it was not made clear? You would think his fellow cadets would have known and passed it on to their superiors.
Polls indicate that about half of people his age are buying socalism as a preferred ideology. I am surprised it is a grounds for terminating an officer these days, but a policy I agree with none-the-less.
I wonder too which politician nominated this mook and what that pol knew prior to his nomination.

They don't receive their commission until they graduate--the fact that he was a 2nd Lt confirms his graduation.

He has been out of the Point for about a year. They just finished with the formalities. Discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer.

Anybody want to bet the usual suspects will raise a stink that being a Communist should not be grounds for dismissal from the armed forces. That is discrimination, and as we know, discrimination of any kind is the new third rail of politics and civility.
