The goal is not just to destroy the US military, but first to reduce it from one of our most revered institutions to a source of shame. How else to explain the use of a drag queen for Navy recruitment?
Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, stage name Harpy Daniels, announced the Navy invited him to become the first “Navy Digital Ambassador” in a November 2022 social media post, highlighting his journey from performing on deck in 2018 to becoming a “leader” and “advocate” of people who “were oppressed for years in the service.”
He specifically cites the former Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy (i.e., go ahead and be a pervert but don’t make a spectacle out of it because that would undermine cohesion) as what he means by being “oppressed.”
This moonbattery can be expected to compound the Navy’s recruitment problem by attracting dissolute degenerates while causing suitable candidates to turn away in revulsion.
Kelley said he was “hand selected as one of four Navy Digital Ambassadors” in a social media post. …
He first started performing on ships after a sanctioned MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) lip syncing competition in 2017 while deployed on the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, Herzog wrote. Kelley “continues to slay in performances that boost morale and show support for LGBTQ+ service members.”
That’s how the Biden Regime has servicemen spending their time while the ChiComs tighten a noose around Taiwan.
Kelley said he faced harassment from outside the military after he was scheduled to perform at a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) event at Langley Joint Air Force Base in the summer of 2022 that “caused an uproar to many conservatives and Christian extremists.”
Anyone who objects to sexual perversion rubbed in the public’s face is an “extremist,” according to the extremists calling the shots. Fortunately for “Harpy Daniels,” he has a safe haven from disapproval in today’s woke military.
The Navy is seeking to boost its size to 347,000 officers and enlisted sailors in 2024, up from the current 341,736 serving in fiscal year 2023, according to Navy Times.
Good luck with that. Maybe try putting up flyers in San Francisco bathhouses.
America prevailed in past wars because so many were motivated to face death for their country. When the USA stands less for liberty than for decadence, morale will be a problem. Gasps US Navy SEAL Team Six member Robert J. O’Neill, who took party in the mission that killed Osama bin Laden:
“Alright. The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bulls-t.”
Meanwhile, as the Pentagon intensifies its focus on promoting LGBTism, it flounders in front of countries that are essential in the struggle to contain China:
The Philippines’ president was on hand Wednesday as one of the U.S. Army’s best-known weapons missed its target — a decommissioned warship floating miles away in the South China Sea — during a live-fire exercise.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. observed from a tower as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, fired six times at the Philippine navy corvette, invisible over the horizon, and a narrator over a public address system described the action down range.
Maybe if they painted the target to look like a Boy Scout’s behind, the sort of recruits they have been going after would be able to focus on it more effectively.
The mismanagement goes beyond recruitment:
The US Air Force is the biggest and most powerful air force in the world: but maybe not for long. The service is struggling through twin crises – one of money, another of belief in itself – that could narrow its aerial advantage. …
The USAF isn’t the only American armed service that’s shrinking while its Chinese adversary is growing. After wasting billions of dollars on ships that don’t work, the US Navy is contracting even as Xi Jinping’s fleet is expanding.
The problem isn’t that bureaucrats won’t spend money. It’s that they spend it stupidly.
The $400-billion [F-35 Lightning II] project has eaten the Air Force. …
Every dollar the USAF feeds the F-35 program is a dollar it can’t spend on planes that are affordable and reliable.
The USAF has ever fewer planes; the ChiComs build ever more. Meanwhile, the Chinese are hardening their bases from missile attacks in preparation for the invasion of Taiwan, while Americans have been withdrawing permanently based fighter squadrons from the area.
Alexander the Great weighs in on the topic of a military run by liberals:
An army of drag queens led by Commander in Chief Joe Biden would not frighten Alexander the Great, the ChiComs, or anyone else — except those of us relying on it for security.
