A day before the Pentagon celebrated the June 1 start of Pride Month, top defense leaders were quietly enforcing a military wide ban on drag performances.
The move became public after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley stepped in to stop a drag show at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., which had been scheduled for Thursday.
In enforcing the ban, which stems from a long-standing Defense Department policy that has not always been applied, critics say the Pentagon appears to have acquiesced to GOP pressure in recent months to cancel those performances at military installations.
Republican lawmakers, in hearings and letters to the Defense Department, have raged over drag shows and diversity programs, which they claim hurt recruiting efforts and compromise warfighting.
……Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he was “glad the Pentagon has made clear this shouldn’t be allowed.”
“China is building hypersonic missiles while the U.S. Secretary of Defense is being forced to explain why there are drag shows on our military bases,” Johnson said in a statement. “The fact that these events were scheduled once again calls into question the priorities of our military’s leadership.”
I am so glad I retired before the likes of Obama and Biden filled the military hierarchy with deranged assclowns like Austin and Milley, who facilitate leftist political indoctrination in the military.
This is the quintessential reason why military recruitment has hit rock bottom. No one wants to join the armed forces and be subjected to the unconstitutional vax tyranny and the “woke” bullshit infecting the military.
While the ChiComs and Russia present real threats to the West, the Biden regime and the current crop of proglodytes in the pentagon are hellbent on pushing an agenda that turns the military into mush. The armed forces are being depleted of anyone capable or willing to fight. Forget combat readiness; ‘gay rights’, deference to Islamofascist theocracy, demonizing the nation’s founders, and forcing servicemembers to shower with trannies is the policy. You better make sure you have the pronouns straight.
Instead of honing warfighting skills, West Point cadets are being pummeled with “Critical Race Theory”. One of the instructors forced cadets to call cops “murderers”.
Warrior ethos has been replaced by psychobabble and corrupt social engineering. Soldiers are supposed to understand enemy tactics and study great military strategists ( i.e. von Clausewitz, Patton, Sun Tsu), not worry about driving a wedge between themselves and their fellow troops with divisive racist policies.
Our enemies are laughing their asses off.
According to the White House hijacker, servicemembers are just a discharge away from being “white supremacists”. Soldiers are subjected to “white privilege” briefings and watching their Commanders kiss muzzie ass over “disrespect to the Quran”. A DOD employee sent out an email declaring MAGA to be “white supremacy” and an Army Lieutenant Colonel at Ft. Campbell sent out an email accusing Christians and patriots of being “hate groups”.
I would discourage anyone from enlisting unless or until America gets real leadership that will eradicate the grip of Marxist doctrine infecting the military.
God help us if we get into another full scale war.
