Resuming the Mission

West Point Cadet Tweets Kaepernick Support: 'Communism Will Win' [More]
What was Benedict Arnold's plan again?

This raises all kinds of questions, including how he can take the oath and what the ACLU lawsuit against the military will look like if he's expelled or not allowed his commission or denied advancement over his beliefs.

That cadet graduated in 2016 and is a currently serving 2LT. He's set up for a courts marshal, soon. It's likely that he things he can get out of his service obligation by getting the boot. What he doesn't apparently know is that the US government will collect huge money for his formerly "free education". His tax returns will be garnished, his wages such as they might be will be garnished, all the while there will be interest accruing on his debt.

His plan, which is pretty obvious, will not work out for him.

In the military, under UCMJ, a traitor can be shot.

I'm surprised they didn't already do that, forthwith, David.

Perhaps he really wishes to be a "political officer"?
