Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier is relieved of command after appearing on a podcast to promote his book, which asserts a neo-Marxist agenda is transforming military culture. Lohmeier says, “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.” The Space Force said Lohmeier was relieved “due to loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.”
