Yesterday afternoon, on Twitter, some of that support came from U.S. Army Infantry Officer and U.S. Military Academy at West Point alumnus, Spenser Rapone.Rapone posts under the handle @punkproletarian and is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.Under the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick, he tweeted an image of himself raising the left clenched-fist of solidarity, support and resistance as well as the message,  Communism Will Win  taped inside of his West Point uniform cap. Also visible in the photograph is Rapone s Combat Infantryman Badge meaning he has fought in active ground combat.#VeteransForKaepernick pic.twitter.com/3jnCtawvHc  Commie Bebop  (@punkproletarian) September 24, 2017Rapone followed up his initial post with retweeted images of other #VeteransForKaepernick in their combat uniforms.In case there was any lingering doubt, hasta la victoria siempre pic.twitter.com/0XrW38wcCk  Commie Bebop  (@punkproletarian) September 25, 2017LawNewz verified the legitimacy of the photograph with Rapone himself. He is currently in the field until Friday and unable to answer detailed questions, but a Medium post authored by the Infantry Officer details some of his views. He wrote, following the murder of socialist Heather Heyer during the Charlottesville neo-Nazi rallies:The toppling of the Confederate Soldiers Memorial in Durham, North Carolina has sounded the death knell for any and all displays of Confederate aggrandizement in the United States as well as abroad. Yet, the shadow of the Confederacy and its efforts to preserve slavery is not limited to the southern United States.The response to Rapone s tweet has been mostly supportive though some have raised concerns about his personal and job safety and the image is quickly approaching viral status. He later sought to clear up any confusion by posting another image of himself. This time, sporting a Che Guevara t-shirt underneath his half-buttoned uniform, Rapone tweeted,  In case there was any lingering doubt, hasta la victoria siempre,  a popular slogan attributed to the late Marxist revolutionary, physician, and guerrilla leader who was ultimately killed and captured by the United States  own CIA.

Rapone retweets a comment made by Adam H. Johnson who complains about the government spending too much money to support our military, suggesting they reallocate those funds to students so they can get a free college education. Pentagon budget increase this week from $619B to $700B could cover tuition for every student at a 4-yr state university in US (total $70B).  Adam H. Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) September 20, 2017
