A U.S. Space Force lieutenant colonel who was relieved of his command “due to a loss of trust,” said that he is being “misportrayed” on the internet with respect to some of his remarks about communism on a podcast earlier this month.
Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was previously in command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, also received tremendous support privately from servicemembers, noting that “thousands” of messages have been sent to him, some saying that they feel they have “lost their voice,” he told Fox News.
