The Space Force officer who was removed from his command post for condemning Marxism and critical race theory is leaving the military.
Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” that his last day in the service will be Sept. 1.
“I wrote a letter to then-Acting Secretary of the Air Force explaining certain circumstances, which I don’t plan to make public, but also requesting an early retirement, and a separation honorably from the service,” he said. “And they’ve denied me an early retirement, but agreed that they would separate me. And so my family and I have decided that that’s the best course of action for

There is no place in the current US military for patriots and people who love the Constitution.
One nephew will be leaving USMC in about a week, for these same reasons.

What more can we say? The world has gone insane. Things like the military of The United States of America punishing Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier for denouncing a system that is part of an ideology that destroyed millions of lives in the last century is unimaginable.
Will we last until the 2022 election? Will it even be a fair election? Are we doomed?
Rush, you are our Guardian Angel, please pull some strings and ask God to help us...just one more time.

Disgusting. It's the Space Force Commander and everyone above him in the chain of command including the Commander-in-Chief who should be relieved of their commands.

Why would a Marxist nation tolerate anti-communists in their ranks? Makes sense to me. Same if you fail to honor the LGBTQ+ flag or the BLM banner; there's no place for you in New America.

Dividing and conquering senior military officers is letism's last step in Amerika's transformation. The wokeness is succeeding with the departure of some very fine officers including Lohmeier.

The good police officers, nurses, doctors, teachers, and military personnel are resigning. I don't see the Republican leadership standing with them.

Poster #1, we have two nephews in the military. Both are captains, one in the Navy and one in the Marines. They both are fairly conservative and I'm been worried for them both. The one in the Navy actually works in the Pentagon.

RE #9. Your O-6 USN Captain is much senior to your O-3 USMC Captain, but both are great ranks, and it is wonderful that they are serving. My extended family currently has officers in the Army, AF, Marines at this point and two are enlisted, one leaving very soon. I worry for any officers or enlisted in the US military who are actual patriots, and interested in a true meritocracy, not an affirmative action promotion scheme, and Marxist indoctrination. They will be hounded and harmed in their career paths, I fear.
My nephew getting out has said that it breaks his heart to leave his beloved Corps,but he sees that it is necessary now. I couldn't disagree with him, worry for my other relatives.

My, my, how things have changed. Forty years ago, supporting Marxism or winking at your comrades at lights-out time or in the shower would earn you a dishonorable discharge and probably prison time. We have been taken over by communist fairies.

After Gulf War 1 I got into a disagreement in a public place with a major (B-52 Navigator) as to whether we won the war or not. My argument was that we lost because the Iraqi's still had the will and ability to fight, therefore we didnt win anything. He countered with we won because we met our "national objectives". He won because he was a major and a flight crew member, and I was just a lowly stubble bum NCO, but he was still wrong. Redefining victory in order to claim it is a tool of losers.

So, they don't grant him his early retirement but took his separation after relieving him of his command?
If they removed him, but didn't have an alternative place for him, then they forced him to retire which should also come with the early retirement.

Florida and Texas may be the new Galt Gulch, where talented conservative people, who can change the world, will go. What happens to the Blue Cities when innovative and meritorious people LEAVE, and go Galt? Florida & Texas will thrive while it's Crapioca for the rest of America. The Socialistas will try to hobble Gult Gulch to distract from their own Crappy policies. Millions of talented people will give them the finger. If the Socialistas no longer represent productive Americans, what happens with "Taxation without Representation"?

Actually #17 and others it's not just Florida and Texas.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

I fear we will need trained former officers and enlisted men like this as civilians in the near future
