Ex-Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania, who served from 2007 to 2013, told The Daily Caller that Second Lt. Spenser Rapone – who is now the focus of an Army investigation – has let him down. “Several years ago, I met Spenser Rapone when he was a high school student seeking an appointment to West Point,” Altmire said. I have not been in touch with him in the years since the appointment, and I was shocked and extremely disappointed in the recent reports of his indefensible actions.”To get into West Point, applicants must receive nominations, usually from U.S. politicians. I have no doubt that the U.S. Army will take appropriate action,” Altmire told The Daily Caller. Richard reportedly said Spenser, who graduated in 2016, was not accepted into West Point right out of high school, but was approved after enlisting in the Army and serving in Afghanistan.
