Woke Wars Veteran Named AF Undersecretary
Matthew Lohmeier
Anti-‘woke’ former officer confirmed as Air Force undersecretary
Stephen Losey
Matthew Lohmeier, the former Space Force lieutenant colonel who was relieved of command after publicly blasting the military’s diversity programs and alleged Marxist ideology, was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday as the Air Force’s next undersecretary.
The 52-46 vote to approve Lohmeier was along party lines.
Lohmeier was fired from command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado in 2021 after appearing on a podcast to discuss his self-published book, “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military.”
During that podcast, Lohmeier decried diversity initiatives, critical race theory and Marxism, saying they were anti-American and divisive. He alleged those ideas were spreading through and weakening the military.
President Donald Trump tapped Lohmeier to be the second-highest civilian in the Department of the Air Force shortly before his inauguration in January, tasking him with changing “woke” policies in the military.
“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,” Trump posted online at the time.
Then-Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the officer who relieved Lohmeier from command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado for the catch-all crime of loss of confidence, is now a four-star in charge of U.S. Space Command. Awkward…

Hell yeah.
I hope he gets sweet revenge on all those commies.
Crush them until they can’t squeal anymore!
Next week’s headline, “Four Star General in Command of U.S. Space Force Relieved of Command Due to Loss of Confidence.”
Won’t be a dry eye in the house either.
From crying? Or laughter?
He’s a combatant commander, so it’ll have to be at the SecDef level. Gen Whiting probably never saw this coming in his wildest imagination.
I’m willing to bet he has Secretary Hegseth’s ear.
Checking: Nope. Still not tired of winning.
The (D)emon-rats have created their own destructors.
Lars tears.
⬆️ this right here!
The founding fathers did it on their own time. Then back to their stores, farms, etc.
Remember when Howard Baker ran for President a few decades back? He said we should make both the Senate and House unpaid positions – too many people becoming millionaires from relatively lower salaries, and it was mainly rich guys running anyway who could easily afford to work unpaid.
The only problem with that idea is that only very wealthy people could afford to serve in Congress. Moreover, that would likely provide more financial incentive to grift.
I remember. And agree to an extent (see rgr769’s comment below). I also think that they (Reps and senators) should have to take part in everything that they vote for. 0bama-Care, etc.
One of the most powerful paintings I have seen.
You can see the faces of everyone except the soldier coming back from the war.
Nothing has changed, except the soldier.
Is the girl hiding behind the corner his ex-girlfriend?
Sure looks like it.
I love Norman Rockwell’s art!
I audibly heard the loud crash of buttholes slamming shut!
Kind of funny that there are a bunch of field grades and generals now worried.
Remember that old saying “be careful of the toes that you step on today, they could be connected to the ass that you have to kiss tomorrow”
Woke or not woke, I hope he knows his shit.
You know. When stories like this come up (especially about the one about Osam-..I mean Obama being targeted for criminal investigation), I, for some reason, think of a particular quote by one RAF General, Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris:
What goes around…
…comes around.
I hope,,,,,I PRAY,,,that there is a reckoning. It would be refreshing to see justice served. It would start to return faith for a lot of us.
With that said,,,,I won’t hold my breath waiting!!
I tried to do that. But I kept turning blue each time I tried, so I stopped.
😮💨
Yeah, I know…Don’t quit my day job.
