Navy insults 'communist cadet' at Army-Navy game

By Rick Moran

The Army-Navy football game is one of the great spectacles in sport. The two sides met for the 118th time on Saturday, and the good natured ribbing between the two institutions took on a more serious note when the midshipmen displayed several signs reminding the cadets that one of their own was recently exposed as a self-described communist infiltrator.

In response to the photos Rapone posted and the calls for him to be kicked out of the Army, West Point launched two investigations,although the results of those investigations have not been released.

Meanwhile, Rapone is still on active duty, serving in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division.
