Fort Drum investigates soldier for tweets supporting Kaepernick, communism [View all]
http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/09/fort_drum_investigates_soldier_for_tweets_supporting_kaepernick_communism.htmlWASHINGTON -- Fort Drum commanders and U.S. military officials say they are investigating a soldier who shared photos with pro-communist messages under his uniform, and tweeted his support for NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick's racial equality protests.
The 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."
