A commander of a US Space Force unit has been fired and put under investigation for making anti-Marxist comments during a podcast, according to reports. Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was relieved from his post after appearing on a podcast to promote his book, which warns that a neo-Marxist agenda is infiltrating military culture and policy.

It might happen but I fear not in they way they expect.

Further proof that our military is led by Marxist scum openly treasonous to the ideals that this country was founded upon. I pray that they pay for this treachery. The Republic that we once knew is currently dead.

Oh no, a "Patriot Extremist"!

Wait a minute, aren't ALL military personnel patriot extremists? I mean, KILLING SOMEONE FOR YOUR COUNTRY is EXTREME AND PATRIOTIC.

If a few teams of SEALS, Green Berets, Delta Force, Etc., decided to organize an assault on the MARXIST POWER STRUCTURE WITHIN OUR MILITARY AND DC, that would be a WELCOMED EVENT that would give Americans hope. Right now I see the BAD GUYS ARE WINNING and this is tough to watch.

Lohmeier claimed that young service members are inundated by a "hyper-politicized work environment where diversity and inclusion initiatives are being pushed constantly."

In my 28 years in uniform, I never saw anything like this. I've been with USAF and USSF civil service for 10 years and never saw anthing like this.

...until the last 18 months.

The entire chain of command has been replaced by low level military, civilian, and contractor minorities and their grievance agendas.

Christ is Risen!!!!

....”The diversity, inclusion and equity industry and the trainings we are receiving in the military ... is rooted in critical race theory, which is rooted in Marxism,” Lohmeier said.....

That statement is CORRECT!!!!

Lt. Col. Lohmeier is one of the good guys and patriots!!! It is the critical race theory crowd that should be put under investigation, and totally expunged from all American institutions!!!!

This “lack of trust and confidence” stuff has gotten out of hand.

If you are going to get rid of a Commander, then do a relief for cause.

Explain exactly why you are getting rid of a Commander.

“Lack of trust and confidence” doesn’t explain why a Commander is fired.

It’s a catch-all that can be used to get rid of a Commander for any reason including the racism and personal animosity of the senior Officer.

Obama started purging real patriots from our military and replaced them with useful idiots. President Trump tried, valiantly to reverse the damage that Obama did. Xiden is doubling down on Obama’s bullsh*t.

I had 37 years in defense industry I dealt almost exclusively with officers usually O-6s (colonels, etc) sometimes generals. I was always shocked by the number of “big government types to leftists” I met. Not a majority but a significant minority. Even one hard core Norm Thomas socialist (Since Thomas was a pacifist a little cognitive dissonance perhaps in that Navy Captain)! I just laugh at the people here who think the military is some how going to save us from Biden. My first reaction to that thinking is “Have you actually met any ?”

And here’s a bio of the little weasel/Marxist sympathizer/fellow traveler/useful idiot who fired LTC Lohmeier...

https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/466543/major-general-stephen-n-whiting/

IMHO, if we had a leader for POTUS (like DJT) who is not a senile, demented pussilanimous pissant, Lohmeier would be promoted to LG, and Whiting would be fired...

Now to find his book and buy it!

Could this be the real reason he was removed: "All of you are pioneers in the newest branch of our armed forces," Trump told Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado.

Lohmeier and his unit get a direct call from President Trump in November and he is removed in May?

I seem to recall something about the Antichrist calling down fire from the sky ... seems like something Marxist as likely allies could be involved in.

He should put out a statement that after discipline, he now supports the ideas of Marx and hopes BLM can succeed in destroying the white patriarchy. Then ask if he can return to his job specializing in missile defense... Watch heads explode.
