Space Force Unit Commander Removed From His Post For Decrying Marxism in the Military (thegatewaypundit.com)]
So who can support this firing? Only commies would do it or allow it.
Now, for military to speak out against Marxism is punished.
Commies are evil. Plain and simple.
It is pretty simple. If you are in the military don’t publish a political book.
ANTI-COMMUNISM isn’t politics, it’s Americanism.
That doesn’t matter. Be it pro or con it is still politics. And the military is pretty clear that they will be political neutral.
Sure bet, Patriotism is NOT allowed in the US military, because it’s not neutral?
What kind of commie crap is that?
US is not on a world continuum of politics and doesn’t have to shut up because little commie worms don’t like it,
It has noting to do with patriotism. Our service men and women in the military are very patriotic.
But the US military command has a history of not being involved in politics.
One exception was the photo-op that Trump did at the church. And he sucked in Esper and Milley.
And they both issued statements that it was wrong.
Milley’s comment was:
“I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. … As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from.”
Exactly right. It is why we have a State Department.
Agreed, in fact it is a chargeable offense under the UCMJ concerning political activities while serving. I know that you can be prosecuted for attending political rallies while in uniform, etc.
Space Force what-now?
Thread title is not accurate…
From your link…
"Last week Lohmeier spoke about his book and criticized Critical Race Theory "
Catchy isn’t it? It strikes me as funny and sad. We had a division of the Air Force that watched after what was going on in space. But Trump liked the idea and it cost us taxpayers a bunch of money to create a division that already existed.
Only CCP drones would favor this firing and not see it as unthinkable,
This is America, not a commie sleaze pit
" In it, author Matthew Lohmeier provides answers to many important questions that Americans are currently asking: Is systemic racism a reality, or is much of our talk about race merely a rhetorical tool used to divide Americans? Why has the Defense Department suddenly shifted to a focus on extremism within the ranks? Is there really a white supremacy or white nationalist problem within our armed forces? Are the many Diversity and Inclusion trainings that are being conducted in our federal agencies helping solve these problems, or are they creating"
Irresistible Revolution also covers a breadth of hot topics everyone is hearing and talking about - topics that actually have implications for our national security: woke ideology, cancel culture, identity politics, the Black Lives Matter movement, anti-racism, postmodernism, political correctness, and critical and cynical theories "
Doesn’t sound like Marxism is the main focus of the book, …Seems like this guy has some issues with race…Not a good thing for a guy that has to lead troops of all races now is it?
What is the evidence that he has issues with race, and what do you think those issues are?
He isn’t sticking to the narrative that he lives in a systemically racist oppressive country. Meanwhile…
Maybe he should re-evaluate.
Meanwhile the CCP seeks to create "race issues " in the USA while ignoring their own brutal record.
These communist infiltrators all have the exact same goal–to tear down America. Between real Americans, “race” has no bearing.
#1 Lohmeir wasn’t fired. He’s still on active duty and drawing a paycheck. (Although that will likely change as I suspect he will be asked to resign his commission.)
#2 The prohibition of military members into the realm of active politics is long standing and currently covered under DOD Directive 1344.10 “Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces”. Lt. Col Lohmeier ignored standing orders in the military and - shock of shocks - his actions were cause for review and action. Violating the DOD Directive makes him subject to action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Options include:
A. Investigate and do nothihng.
B. Investigate and give a reprimand if he agrees not to continue with unauthorized activity.
C. He be allowed to resign under honorable conditions and pursues his next career as an author and/or political commentator.
D. He is charged under the UCMJ Article 15 for non-judicial punishment.
E. He is charged under the UCMJ for Court Martial.
(Personally I think option C is most likely.)

Wait for the 15-6. My guess is the podcast is the problem, not the book.
The military is as socialist as it gets. Maybe he shouldn’t have bit the hand that feeds him.
“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.
“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.
It would appear that this whole thing is mostly being scrutinized right now to determine if there’s a problem?
Seems these two might be the problem:
4.1.2.3. Allow or cause to be published partisan political articles, letters, or endorsements signed or written by the member that solicits votes for or against a partisan political party, candidate, or cause. This is distinguished from a letter to the editor as permitted under the conditions noted in subparagraph 4.1.1.6.
4.1.2.6. Participate in any radio, television, or other program or group discussion as an advocate for or against a partisan political party, candidate, or cause.
