Less than a year after Spenser Rapone’s images drew a firestorm of vitriol and even death threats, the second lieutenant is officially out of the Army with an other-than-honorable discharge.
The Army has disciplined 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone, the former West Point cadet who wore a Che Guevara shirt under his uniform at graduation. But they won't say how.
Since photos surfaced in late September of a now-second lieutenant sporting a Che Guevara T-shirt under his uniform at West Point’s 2016 graduation and commissioning ceremony, West Point and the Army have drawn the ire from everyone from active soldiers to a Florida senator.
Since tweets of 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone first swirled around the internet on Sunday, multiple outlets have printed rumors and speculation about his service.
