At, best, Cadet Rapone's online ideological screeds reveal the philosophical infatuations of a precocious adolescent, rather like a school boy who cannot stop spouting off about Nietzsche. The "misunderstood" and "persecuted" young genius shouts truth to power by cobbling together ideas and quotations popping up in chat rooms or on Facebook walls, certain that his provocative and shocking proclamations will, based solely upon their vehemence and sarcasm, demonstrate both the profound sincerity and the unassailable correctness of his viewpoints
Sounds like a smart kid who gamed the system to get out of his military commitment and any obligation to repay the cost of his education. In this increasingly standard-less society, a less than honorable discharge won't be much of a burden. Terrible precedent.CanyonAg77 said:Quote:
