Top Senate Armed Services GOP Jim Inhofe: Troops Should Be Encouraged to Speak Out Against Marxism
Breitbart ^ | 24 May 2021 | Kristina Wong

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, the committee that oversees the United States military, issued a statement over the weekend in support of Air Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was relieved of his command at Space Force after warning about Marxism spreading in the military.

“Based on the information the committee has received so far and what’s been reported in the press, I am concerned. Members of our military should not only be able to speak out against Marxism, but they should be encouraged to do so — as long as they follow the rules and laws already in place,” Inhofe said in a statement.

“Marxism is an ideology that goes against everything this country stands for, and it belongs, as Ronald Reagan said famously, ‘on the ash-heap of history,'” he said.

Inhofe joins a growing chorus of Republicans expressing concern over Lohmeier’s firing, after he appeared on several podcasts to discuss his new book warning of Marxism spreading in the military. A Space Force spokesperson told Military.com, which first reported Whiting’s decision to fire Lohmeier, the decision “was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast.”

“Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity,” the spokesperson said.

After a number of Republican members in the House and Senate called for Lohmeier to be reinstated, the service suspended its investigation into Lohmeier and is allowing the Air Force inspector general to look into the entirety of Lohmeier’s case and dismissal.

By all means stop this #ComDem_Insanity!

So, would that lead to a General Discharge? Speaking out that is. Or less than honorable or dishonorable? Not the same oath I swore to apparently.

Conclusion of the Air Force inspector general: "The dismissal of LtCol Lohmeier was proper and appropriate. He is an avowed enemy of the workers and peasants and a symbol of Trumpist reaction against the historically inevitable victory of the proletariat." (And I want to keep my pension.)

We are in a civil war. Its just the howling stage at this point.

When the shooting starts, let the rest of us know.

The only way to keep from getting into a full blown shoot out is for the red states to split before the Marxist states drag us all down the hole.

When I was in the Army we had paper targets that were Asian men in green uniforms with a red star on their hats. We went from VC in black pajamas to Chinese regulars. It spooked me a little. What was the Army preparing for?

Who knows, perhaps chemical castration would be more appropriate.

Troops should be allowed to shoot Marxists and Communists on sight.

What are Chinese regulars? Chinese citizens/the Chinese populace?

It is COMMUNISM/NAZISM. Any politician etc. who uses the words Marxism, socialism, etc. is still purposefully minimizing the TOTAL EVILNESS of what is really happening in the U.S. (which is COMMUNISM/NAZIISM).
