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.
“This decision was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast,” a Space Force spokesperson said in an email. “Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity.”
Lohmeier’s temporary assignment in the wake of his removal was not immediately clear.
As an active duty military member, Lohmeier retains the freedom of speech on his own time. He may publish books. Books authored by military members may or may not be subject to review by the military depending on their content. He told Military.com that the military was aware he was publishing this book.
“I was apprised of the option to have my book reviewed at the Pentagon’s prepublication and security review prior to release, but was also informed that it was not required,” Lohmeier told Military.com in an email.

He committed unforgivable sin of 21st century America - Lohmeier questions critical race theory.
The beginning chapters of his book explore the history and foundation of the United States and how critical race theory — a study of how race and racism impact or are impacted by social and economic power structures and institutions — plays a role.
“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, adding [that] it should be seen as a warning sign.
In the segment, Lohmeier said his book is not political, and is meant to alert readers to the increasing politicization of today’s armed forces, some of which he said he’d seen or experienced firsthand.
When I enlisted, back in 83, I distinctly remember a question on the application:
“Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” It was disqualifying.
Now we punish those who criticize anything having to do with the Communist ideology.
It’s official... we’re f*#@ed!
Bttt
He failed the ideology purity test.
The military is being reshaped so that traditional Americans are the enemy.
Just a foreshadowing of the Tribulation. The military/FBI, etc. will all be rounding up those who don’t comply, are believers in Christ after the Rapture, or are true Patriots. We would have been 4 years into it but for God intervening in Trump’s presidency.
Amazon shows the book as out of stock.
Guess secdef austin would not be pleased with this officer’s assessment of the idea of ‘crt’.
if you want to know who rules you, see who you cannot criticize
the purge continues
no dissent. resistance is futile.
see you in the breadlines.
there was a West Point cadet with a message written inside his cap.
The commies will win
Well,nuts, now I want to buy a copy he needs a substack or other alternative publication source.
“Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”
I remember that question on our military forms. I also remember there were lots of other groups mentioned. One was “The Abraham Lincoln Brigade.”
I urge others to consider doing the same as a show of support.
Because the military is being used to bring about marxism in the USA. Didn’t take long after Trump was gone. It was one of the dems’ goals, and puppet biden welcomed it with open arms.
Any asshole in the military that is unwilling to condemn Marxism should be discharged with dishonor.
How did you place your order. Amazon shows it out of stock, true or not.
Annoying your boss tends to be career limiting.
This tells US all we need to know about the installed regime.
