Space Force Unit C.O. Relieved of Duty for Criticizing Marxism in the Military
2021-05-16
[PJ] Military.com reports that Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier has been relieved of his duties pending an investigation after he appeared on a podcast and criticized the rise of Marxism in the United States military.

Lohmeier served for 14 years in the U.S. Air Force before joining Space Force among its first officers and recruits. He has written and self-published a book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military. He appeared on a podcast, called Information Operation, to discuss the book on May 7. He was relieved of his duties as commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado on Friday, May 14, by order of Lt. Gen. Steven Whiting. Public affairs made it clear that his comments are the reason his job now hangs in the balance.

#11  I called the Lt General's office and left a message with the person on duty that the General was a fucking prick for relieving the officer. I gave him my name and cell phone number saying if the General had the balls he could call me back.

#9  Why do I get the idea that he was relieved because he wrote and pushed his book while he was still active duty, and not exactly because it was anti-marxist?
