The New Diversity in the Military
Irresistible Revolution
Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & The Unmaking of The American Military
By Matthew Lohmeier
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, was relieved of command in May after Lieutenant General Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command over a loss of confidence in his ability to lead. This reason for relieving an officer is standard verbiage for such actions. In my opinion, the real reason is that Lohmeier dared to criticize the diversity and inclusion initiatives that the Space Force, and the rest of the military, are currently pushing on service members.

As soon as I heard of the action taken against Lt. Col. Lohmeier I bought Irresistible Revolution. The Amazon description of this 216-page book begins with, “a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces.” As citizens of this republic, we all have a duty to be aware of the actions of government and the readiness of our military. This book gave me chills.
The book is divided into three parts and, like bricks; each provides a foundation for the next. The history and logical progressions are solid with numerous quotes. Unfortunately, it is more in-depth than can be easily shown in a book review.
The first section of the book is titled, “The Greatness of the American Ideal.” In this section, Lohmeier describes his first encounter with avowed Marxists while visiting China. He then discusses the errors and misrepresentations of the 1619 project, its assertion that the American Revolution was an effort to preserve slavery, and how such factually inaccurate concepts have begun to reshape the military. The second chapter examines the real reasons for the American Revolution, natural law, and the greatness of the Declaration of Independence.
The second portion of the book is titled “Marxism’s Goal of Conquest.” In this section, Lohmeier, examines the growth of Marxism from an idea to a revolutionary movement and continues to build his case against it. It is here we learn that Critical Theory, Critical Legal Studies, and the more recent Critical Race Theory (CRT) have their philosophical roots in Marxism.
In the third section titled, “Unmaking America’s Military,” we are given specific examples of commissioned officers using CRT to advance their private agendas within the military. Lohmeier states on page 121 that, “Servicemembers are allowed to support the BLM movement. They are not, however, allowed to criticize it.”
On page 141, Joy Schaeffer, a white female, valedictorian of West Point is quoted as saying, “the norm in white America is racism and the supremacy of white citizens over Black citizens.”
Mike Huckabee interviews Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier.
On page 155, Lohmeier quotes a black and gay Lieutenant Colonel as saying, “If you’re wondering when these protests end and what better looks like, you need to understand the problem and act. America has a race problem, it is systemic…so where does it all end? When we burn the system to the ground. And WE can, all of us.”
These insights into current military thinking are deeply troubling and there are many more in the book. If Lohmeier’s description of tolerance, even encouragement, of critical race theory and identity politics in the military is correct he should not have been relieved. However, his superior, Lt. General Stephen Whiting, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, should immediately be relieved of command and a cleansing of Marxism from the ranks of the military should commence.
Every American should read this book. I’ll be praying for Lohmeier and this nation. If you are in the military or business and have on-the-job experience with Critical Race Theory, Racism, or Marxist doctrines, please share them in the comment section below.
