On September 27th, the Youngstown, Ohio local news station WFMJ[3] reported that Army officials were investigating Rapone's social media posts and included a statement from Rapone's father, who disavowed his son's political views.

Resignation From Army

On June 19th, 2018, The Guardian reported that Fort Drum's 10th Mountain Division accepted Rapone's resignation after he was reprimanded for "conduct unbecoming an officer." Additionally, the article reported that Rapone had been investigated by the Army, who "found he went online to advocate for a socialist revolution and disparage high-ranking officers and US officials." Additionally, the article included a statement by Rapone:

“I consider myself a revolutionary socialist. I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement.”

Actually reading the article, he wasn't forced to resign for being pro-communist.
He was forced to resign because he posted things like "I would encourage all soldiers who have a conscience to lay down their arms and join me and so many others who are willing to stop serving the agents of imperialism and join us in a revolutionary movement".

Being a communist probably won't get you kicked out of the army, stating loudly and blatantly that you are going to essentially commit treason is another thing entirely.
