It is still the same, no way he clears the security clearance for a Secret, let alone a TS clearance. He is clearly advocating for the overthrow of the US government, one of the specific questions they still ask during your PI for TS.

Considering he took this oath;
quote:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."
I would have to say he is a liar (for not faithfully fulfilling his oath) and a coward (for not revealing his political leanings).

Just another attention whore looking for his five minutes. Congratulations. Time's up.

I used to be vehemently against McCarthyism but it sure seems like he knew what the hell was coming and was trying his best to prevent this current shite storm.

The antithesis of everything America is about, in which thousands of Americans lost their lives fighting, is now the ideology of an Army officer? My how far we have sunken when this new generation thinks this is cool, edgy, and appropriate. Boot that shite ball.

Senator McCarthy was a political prophet.

At first I thought this officer was a troll because of this quote I found

Democratic Socialists of America Veterans] issued me this CIB [Combat Infantryman Badge] for satisfactory performance under hostile enemy posting online in the twitter firefight of 26JUL,” he tweeted August, using the hash tag “Troop Left.”

This quote can't be true, but damn it made me laugh

That communism would fail again and again, leading to its demise all on its own?

And what storm are you referring to? A few idiots who ignore reality and empirical evidence? Just like the left overstates the pervasiveness of fascism and white supremacists, I think the right does the same with communism. With such a large population there will always be a few idiots that supports one of those ideologies, but a few idiots displaying their idiocy doesn't somehow make it more pervasive.

Silliness.

It would take very little effort to find multiple avowed communists who preach communism that are professors at major universities all over America. Almost every major university has at least a few and those professors all have a dedicated fan base on campus.

You can likely count on one hand the number of professors openly preaching white supremacy and fascism.........and when you're done counting, you'll likely have 5 fingers left over.

I have researched at length. He is legit. The article actually gets all of the facts correct (oddly enough).

well this is a head-in-the-sand post if I have ever seen it. We have communists at the top of military branches, intelligence agencies, political positions, etc. Then you have the entire higher education world filled to the brim with communists who do nothing but roll out brainwashing in massive quantities.

Yes, communism fails over and over but I'd rather see it fail before it starts than let it run its course and then fail.

I think you'd be surprised. One of my professors where I went to school in Alabama (of all places) was an avowed Marxist and Communist. Card carrying and all.
