BREAKING: The U.S. Army Is Going After Them!
TRUNEWS
n spite of denials, word is that U.S. Army Rangers are examining whether soldiers could possibly be communists.
From TRUNEWS:
Leaders of America’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment have ordered the thorough examination of every soldier within their ranks to expel any who share the anti-American beliefs of avowed Communist 2nd Lieutenant Spenser Rapone
On Friday the commanders of the U.S. Army’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment launched an unprecedented sweep of the social media accounts and dormitory rooms of approximately 2,400 to 2,800 soldiers assigned to the unit.
According to an official briefed on the inspection, the intended goal was to identify and oust any individuals who share similar anti-American views as avowed Communist 2nd Lieutenant Spenser Rapone.
“There are McCarthy-like interviews taking place at battalion and the USMA,” the military official told TruNews correspondent Edward Szall. “Your name was brought up as the ‘pit bull’ that would tear this commie hunt wide open.”
The large scale search was carried out by the units officers and non-commissioned officers throughout the weekend and under the guise of a standard “heath and welfare inspection”, a military check which can be authorized by a units commander to seize drugs, illegal contraband and unauthorized equipment from a soldiers living quarters.
“A defacto stand down like this is usually only done informally and in secret, and never in this large of a scale” the military official said Friday. “The regiments leadership wants to be able to say conclusively, there are no communists hiding in our ranks.”
Under the Hatch Act of 1939, active duty military personnel are barred from engaging in partisan political actions, which according to DoD Directive 1344.10 includes social media activity, and additionally any support or membership to “communist-action organizations” are outlawed under the Communist Control Act of 1954.
The order to identify and purge anti-American soldiers from the ranks of one of America’s top military units follows TruNews’ report that West Point graduate 2LT Rapone was removed for cause from Alpha Company 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment prior to attending the United States Military Academy (USMA) in 2012.
