On Thursday, former Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was confirmed as the Undersecretary of the U.S. Air Force. It’s a position most Americans have never heard of—and one that typically passes unnoticed. But this confirmation deserves attention. It marks a rare, almost literary reversal of fate, the kind usually reserved for well-crafted novels that point to a moral end.
Lohmeier first came to national attention in 2021 when he published a book titled "Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military", "that warned of a fast-moving progressive assault on the culture and training canon of America’s military....... Each made valuable contributions to the historical record, memorializing how modern Bolshevism is working to turn the force tasked to protect the nation against it. But Lohmeier’s work stood apart for its philosophical depth and its careful tracing of how 20th-century revolutionary regimes co-opted militaries to impose tyranny.
He detailed how modern military “diversity” and “inclusion” initiatives bear uncanny resemblance to cultural tactics once used by Mao and Stalin. Lohmeier’s book is well-done narrative scholarship that provides a reasoned, historically grounded critique of recent military cultural practices........The Space Force responded to Lohmeier’s warnings not with debate, but with retribution—relieving him of command......To Read More....
My Take - Heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart. Having the courage to stand against the current and tell the world, "you're all wrong and I going to tell you why", takes guts, fortitude, the willingness to be attacked unmercifully, unendingly, and caring little for being liked. That's rare, and so I've instituted an accolade for those who demonstrate public courage and fortitude. Men and women who have the courage to stand against the tide, to be the rock in the current. Willing to stand for truth, justice and the American way. I'm calling it the John Boyd Legion of Honor, I've added Lohmeier to that list. To Be or To Do: Which Way Will You Go? RK
