Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, a former fighter pilot, was a commander of a unit that detected ballistic missile launches.
He was fired and investigated for anti-Marxist comments he made during a podcast in 2021.
Matthew was relieved of his duties in May 2021 by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting.
In May 2021, Lohmeier self-published a book titled, “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.”
He later promoted his book during a podcase and criticized Critical Race Theory with L. Todd Wood, host of the podcast “Information Operation.”
This upset the woke, Marxist sympathizers in the US Military and Lohmeier was promptly removed from his post.
In December 2024, The Gateway Pundit’s J.M. Phelps spoke to Matt Lohmeier, Executive Vice President of Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services (STARRS), and a former Space Force commander who was relieved of his duties in 2021 for comments about diversity and wokeness in the military.
The author of Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military explained, “The way in which Marxism has infiltrated the United States military has been largely subversively, just like it did originally in the university setting.”
Lohmeier said, “It then came far more directly in the form of diversity and inclusion trainings that are steeped in critical race theory, which teach our service members to view one another based on accidentals.” According to him, these accidentals include but are not limited to race, ethnic, and gender identities.
For him, “There’s no better strategy that someone might come up with to destroy a military than to divide it and then conquer it.” He warned, “Marxism never parades around as Marxism, but employs a different vocabulary to mask what’s being weaponized against the troops.”
On Friday, January 17, 2025, President Trump announced he was promoting Matthew Lohmeier to Under Secretary of the Air Force.
President Trump made the announcement on Truth Social.
I am pleased to announce that Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier will be the next United States Under Secretary of the Air Force.
Matt is a former fighter pilot, and Space Force Squadron Commander, who has devoted his life to serving our Great Nation. He is a proud graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Matthew will work with the GREAT Secretary of Defense Nominee, Pete Hegseth, to end the devastating “woke” policies that have destroyed our Military, and make our Country STRONG AGAIN. Congratulations Matthew!
What an amazing story!
