President-elect Donald Trump announced Matthew Lohmeier as his choice for under secretary of the Air Force on Truth Social on Friday night. Lohmeier was fired by the Space Force in 2021 for his controversial comments that Marxist beliefs and DEI policies were rampant in the military, according to reports.
Lohmeier, a former fighter pilot, was a lieutenant colonel in the Space Force when he was fired after going on a conservative podcast to promote his self-published book, "Irresistible Revolution: Marxism's Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military," the Hill reported.
