Former Space Force commander to serve with Hegseth as Air Force undersecretary: President-elect Donald Trump
Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, a former fighter pilot and U.S. Space Force commander, has been appointed as the next United States Undersecretary of the Air Force by President-elect Donald Trump. Lohmeier, a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, brings over a decade of military experience to his new role, where he will focus on military readiness and missile warning systems.
In a recent appearance on Fox News, Lohmeier discussed his views on military preparedness and the importance of maintaining a strong defense. He made headlines earlier this year after claiming he was fired for criticizing what he called the “Marxist” DEI complex within the military. Despite facing backlash for his comments, Lohmeier remains dedicated to serving his country and ensuring the strength of the armed forces.
Unfortunately, Lohmeier’s tenure in the Space Force was short-lived, as he was dismissed less than a year after his appointment. He also lost his pension as a result of his controversial remarks. However, President-elect Trump has expressed his support for Lohmeier, praising his dedication to the nation and vowing to work alongside him to uphold traditional military values.
As Lohmeier steps into his new role as Undersecretary of the Air Force, he will collaborate with Secretary of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth to address what they see as detrimental “woke” policies that have impacted the military. Together, they aim to strengthen the armed forces and restore America’s military prowess.
In conclusion, Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier’s appointment as the next United States Undersecretary of the Air Force marks a significant moment in his career. Despite facing challenges and controversy, Lohmeier remains committed to serving his country and upholding the values of the military. His partnership with Secretary of Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth signals a new chapter in military leadership, one focused on revitalizing and fortifying the armed forces.
