I'm only half surprised that the military hasn't taken any action on this.
I mean..it is the military here, not some corporate job where your political beliefs don't really impact your job.
Then again..even the military has gone all snowflake. Hasan raised a lot of flags internally and nothing was done until after he went on a shooting rampage in Ft Hood.
Update: Communist Ranger and West Pointer receives an Other Than Honorable discharge
What happened to part of the oath of accession? That one will support the Constitution of the United States and defend it from its enemies? Communism is an enemy of the US Constitution.
Looks like they discharged this guy, which is a good thing.

Obama managed to remove many of the traditional and old school leaders and replace them with the few liberal lackeys.
That combined with his admin constantly demoralizing the branches with lower standards, social engineering with "inclusiveness & diversity being the most important strength", etc.
Let's not forget the name games Obama & Co played, like terrorism being renamed "man-made disaster" or the war on terror being renamed "overseas contingency plan". Needless to say when you mention the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood, it was termed "workplace violence".
Needless to say leftist libs will dismiss such things as trivial or semantics (mainly because it was their team that did it, otherwise they be critical). But it is symptomatic of the incompetence of Obama & Co and their attempt to remake the military into something liberals would want it to be, rather than the best fighting force it was.
To them, it was more important to be diverse so as to not hurt anyone's feelings, even at the cost of a less prepared and skilled force.
Is it any wonder why the military overwhelmingly votes (R) every election?
The military better watch what country they send him to. With such a strong belief in communism he could defect if given the opportunity depending on where he's stationed.
LMAO...there are like 3 or 4 communist nations in the world, and why would we go to war with the likes of Cuba or Vietnam? And why would he go through all this trouble to defect to North Korea or China? We don’t stop people from going there if they want to. He doesn’t have to wait for a war.
Let’s not get all drama queeny about this. This is simply a military officer that believes in the communist political philosophy. That’s it. Nothing more. He’s not some big national security threat.
I think everybody is entitled to his or her opinion, this is a free country. However, this one is an officer in the military. This would be like a Roman officer rooting for Carthage.
Communism will win? Seriously?
i guess you can now be an openly communist soldier at West Point. What a joke!
In a sense, our Military and the Military Industrial Complex represent a form of Socialism....or, stretching it a bit, Communism. Production by "the state" (hard to separate Lockheed or Boeing from the Government...and your and my tax money)....
They are taught that they are the Commissars.
It is a very Authoritarian Environment.
I went to a fairly serious military school and it was definitely strongly authoritarian..and definitely collectivist.

You are correct. What is interesting is that anyone would consider this a threat or something even worth commenting about. If the dude's worldview works for him - well, that's better than what most individuals have!
As long as he does his assigned job, he should be judged simply on the merits.
It's also interesting how many of the same crowd who seem to support Russia (more than before) and Nationalism and Authoritarian are now the pot calling the kettle black!
One has to wonder what the real outlook of these "pots" is??

Maj Hassan agrees with you.....
However, all those Solders would disagree with you, but they are dead.....

You're wrong about that. Communism is not the enemy of the Constitution. You can be a patriot and be a communist, as long as you advocate the peaceful election of fellow party members. Actually the Supreme Court ruled a long time ago that banning the Communist Party is unconstitutional.
Reading the article that hogstooth posted, where the cadet got into trouble is that he advocated the violent overthrow of the government. That's why he was removed from duty, and appropriately so.
