It’s useful comparing his conduct with the alleged crimes and misdemeanors that Democrat party members seem to have committed.
Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, who commanded the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, was recently relieved of command. Why?
The Communist News Network, or CNN, reports that a Defense Department official told them that “Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, Space Operations Command commander, relieved Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier of command…due to loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.” What did the lieutenant colonel do to betray trust and confidence?
Did Lohmeier sleep with a Chinese spy, making him a National Security threat? That would certainly result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Democrat Congress-pronoun Eric Swalwell did. Swalwell was rewarded with an appointment to the House Intelligence Committee following revelations that he was compromised by a sexual relationship with a known Chinese spy.
Did Lohmeier receive questionable payments from shady business dealings with the Communist Chinese? Was he compromised by financial ties to China? That would certainly be suspicious and result in a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, but Joe Biden and Hunter, his immoral, useless, criminal embarrassment of a son, did. Joe Biden is unpopularly believed to be the “President.”
Did Lohmeier encourage rioting and mob rule? That too would result in an erosion of trust and confidence in his ability to lead. No, he didn’t do that either. But Congress-pronoun Maxine Waters did when she called on protestors to “stay in the streets” and “demand justice” during the Derek Chauvin trial. Maxine Waters is still in Congress.

His crime was telling the truth.
Not sure of his rank - is he 0-3 ?
Truth is a thought crime now.

At some point, no matter how much we all want to just ‘go on with our lives’, we will have to fight in some manner to save our freedoms and our way of life.
- Bill Clinton gets oral sex in the Oval Office from a 21 year-old intern, has to pay a settlement to a former mistress, and is very believably accused of rape, but he is a beloved ‘rogue’ President who for years was an icon of the Democrats.
- Ted Kennedy drives a young woman off a bridge in his car and then leaves her there overnight before reporting it to police. He is involved in the ‘waitress sandwich’ episode with another senator. He secretly tries to set up a quid pro quo with Soviet leader Andropov that solicits help in changing the direction of an American presidential election https://www.forbes.com/2009/08/27/ted-kennedy-soviet-union-ronald-reagan-opinions-columnists-peter-robinson.html?sh=5fbfe0d0359a and yet he is celebrated as a hero by the Democrats and the media.
- Kamala Harris has a sexual relationship with the married Mayor of San Francisco, and arguably this helps to launch her political career (”Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker,” Brown wrote), and she gets elected as the Democrat Vice President.
- Hillary Clinton (too numerous to list - but you are all aware of her actions and illegalities), but is held up as an icon of virtue by her Democrat supporters.
etc. etc. etc.
All of those people, and many more Democrat icons are lauded by the left, while they attack Donald Trump as an immoral man.

The author has been relieved of command and put on ice pending a determination of whether his "comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity.”
Ironically, his comments fall squarely within his oath, obligation and duty to "defend against domestic enemies".
Rhetorical questions:
"HTH can an officer satisfy that obligation without talking about any such domestic enemy?"
"Does any political operative or organization who squelches that duty to defend qualify as a "domestic enemy?"
This USAF Academy grad, fighter pilot with two MA's is most certainly on Trump's list for a place in a future government.
He made his superiors mad. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Like a broken record, our resident concern troll has spoken.
