Lee Scott Lingamfelter (born March 27, 1951) is a retired American politician, soldier, and writer. He was a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018, representing the 31st district in Fauquier and Prince William Counties.[1] Prior to his election, from 1973 to 2001, Lingamfelter was an officer in the United States Army, reaching the rank of Colonel.
After retiring from politics, Lingamfelter began writing about his military endeavors. In 2020, Lingamfelter published his first book, Desert Redleg: Artillery Warfare in the First Gulf War, describing the experience of the First Gulf War through the eyes of a Field Artillery redleg in the 1st Infantry Division Artillery (DIVARTY). He attempts to answer the question of whether the United States "got the job done" in its first sustained Middle Eastern conflict. In 2021, Lingamfelter began writing his second book on the U.S. role in UN Middle East peacekeeping. The book was due to be published in 2022 but was actually released 2023.
