Space Force CO Who Got Holiday Call from Trump Fired Over Comments Decrying Marxism in the Military

I’m pretty certain the Air Force Times informed Richard Clark before publishing that letter, otherwise they might be in trouble.
How would the Times be in trouble?

Its a private publication
For publishing "detrimental" views of a superior officer.

They don't have a military version of "freedom of speech", as civilians do.

The Air Force Times is A PRIVATE PUBLICATION

They are civilians in every sense of the word
Doesn't matter, it IS a private publication but I'm sure the editor reached out to Richard Clark for a response or rebuttal, before publication.
A Lt. General has some pull, even with civilians.
 
This insanity is now a threat not only to the military but to our very existence.

TraitorJoe©™ is a force of evil especially in his state of dementia as he is being used as a pawn for this crap.


The commander of a Space Force unit that specializes in detecting ballistic missile launches has been relieved of duty because he doesn’t believe Marxism and Critical Race Theory are healthy endeavors for the military to undertake.
Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier was commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron. He was relieved of duty yesterday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting because of comments he made on a PODCAST criticizing Marxism and critical race theory, and that’s not just a theory and not an exaggeration. It’s explicitly the reason they gave.
From Military.com:
“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.


He talked about his self-published book about Marxism invading American institutions while on the podcast.
Lohmeier told Wood, the podcast host, that 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.


The Blaze excerpts:
Lohmeier noted that there is a diversity initiative that instructs service members to read the book “So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo, which labels the United States as a “white supremacist nation.”
Lohmeier claimed that young service members are inundated by a “hyperpoliticized work environment where diversity and inclusion initiatives are being pushed constantly.”
“From his perspective as a commander, Lohmeier said he didn’t seek to criticize any particular senior leader or publicly identify troops within the book,” Military.com reported. “Rather, he said, he focused on the policies service members now have to adhere to to align with certain agendas ‘that are now affecting our culture.'”


PJ Media points out this invasion, this pervasive and rapid integration of critical race theory and Marxist BLM ideology in every facet of American life, has been especially noted in the military since Biden took office.




So, everyone in the military knows this, don't discuss politics, unless he was authorized to speak on the matter, know you know why.
Wrong

People discuss it all the time.

What is not allowed is undermining elected officials.
You're FOS.

DOD Directive 1344.10 applies to members of the armed forces, whether they serve on active duty, as members of the reserve components not on active duty, as National Guard members in a non-federal status and military retirees.
These rules are designed to prevent military members' or federal civilian employees' participation in political activities that imply -- or even appear to imply -- official sponsorship, approval or endorsement, officials said. The concern, they explained, is that actual or perceived partisanship could undermine the legitimacy of the military profession and department.
However, officials emphasized, they can do so only if they don't act as, or aren't perceived as, representatives of the armed forces in carrying out these activities.

Beyond that, the list of do's and dont's differs depending on whether the employee is a member of the armed forces, a career civil service employee, a political appointee or a member of the career Senior Executive Service, officials said.
Military members, for example, may attend political meetings or rallies only as spectators and not in uniform. They're not permitted to make public political speeches, serve in any official capacity in partisan groups or participate in partisan political campaigns or conventions.

They also are barred from engaging in any political activities while in uniform.
None of that forbids them from speaking on a general issue.

That is all aimed at PARTISAN politics which involves a specific candidate or party.

Of course it doesn't, it doesn't protect Lohmeier from repercussions from that speech, which he found out.

No, it isn't.

The military is the single most socialist institution in America. He made it to his position because the military provided him and his family with housing, food, education, medical and managed every minute of his life. What's he griping about? Leftists? Taking public hard partisan views is not allowed in the military brass, he knows that.
Since when is being anti-Marxist a “hard partisan view”? Oh yea, since Democrats become communists.

And no, the military isn’t “socialist”. Military members must pass standards on a normal basis. They aren’t being paid unemployment, they work some very difficult and dangerous jobs.

You're an idiot and have never served in the military according to your response.

The military provided him with benefits such as housing, (NOT FOOD, IDIOT) education and medical. In exchange for his life for OUR country. So what?
Congress can't seem to give our military a living wage, so they've 'given' benefits.

You are disgusting.

When did democrats ever praise communism or want the US to adopt it?

March 3 2018
U.S. President Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping Saturday after the ruling Communist party announced it was eliminating the two-term limit for the presidency, paving the way for Xi to serve indefinitely.

“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump’s remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida.
“And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

Trump and and cult supporting communist and communism? (NOT surprised)

So, the the troops have to buy their own food?
The Trump cult think getting taken care of by the government is socialism, the military is a prime example.
They get free food, housing, education, medical, retirement pay and they get paid.

And put their lives on the line for a-holes like you.

Put a price tag on that, please.

Freedom isn't free. And the pay sucks.

Police do that.

They may have put their lives on the line for Koreans, Vietnamese, Afghans and Iraqi's.

Don't forget the Saudi's, Trump put our troops and their lives on the line when he pulled troops out of Syria, only to place them in Saudi, to guard THEIR oil.
 
This administration considers speaking against Marxism to be partisan politics. That’s all you need to know.

Once again you miss the point.

That directive applies to partisanship which means endorsing a candidate or party not general issues which is what this officer was discussing
