Ousted Space Force officer says he's been 'misportrayed', received 'thousands' of notes from troops

A lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Space Force who was relieved of his command told Fox News on Monday he is being "misportrayed" online in regards to the comments about Marxism he made on a podcast earlier this month – and that he has received a private outpouring of support from fellow...

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

His recently self-published book focuses on the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within the military.

Scratching my head on that one. I personally think it's okay to say that Critical Race Theory and Marxism are wrong and don't align with the values of the United States, but Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting (the head of Space Operations Command) said that he "had lost confidence in Lohmeier’s ability to lead" so apparently he doesn't agree with me, and his reasons could be vastly different than anything we know about after reading a couple of Internet articles.

I think the real reason is that this guy wrote a book and didn't tell anyone in the Space Force, and then promoted the book during the podcast. It's just a hunch.
 
The unit this guy was the commander of is actually one of my own unit’s sister squadrons. We ended up having an all call because of what happened.

I listened to the podcast interview that got him fired, and everything he said was pretty much spot on. It’s now trendy to say that the Air Force is systemically racist, it’s now cool to metaphorically self flagellate if you are a white guy, it’s fashionable to to be far-left. I know General Whiting and the leadership that removed Lohmeier. Not personally, but well enough to know that he and his team buy into the whole “diversity and inclusion” propaganda.

If this guy was in fact promoting “conspiracies” or other falsehoods, there would be little reason to remove him. But since he’s blowing the issue up and actually exposing what’s going on behind the scenes, they feel like they need to silence him.
 
“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.

Okay, so it wasn't the book...
Which is sold out on Amazon.
 
West Point Graduation 2016. He is out now and didn't last long.
 
So someone please help me understand this..

- Military officer removed from position in speaking against Communism
- Military officer removed from position in speaking for Communism

Moral of the story: A Military officer cannot express any views while holding Military office.
