Meet Harpy -- the navy brass’ new favorite sailor.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley, who apparently wears a medal on his chest for every military disaster he’s overseen, bristles at claims that on his watch, the U.S. military has become woke, soft, and distracted from its actual purpose. The uber-woke general claims that he’s “not even sure what that word truly means” — that is, “woke” — and that the United States military is fearsome, powerful, and ready for anything. And it’s true, as long as the Chinese or Russians send an army of drag queens to confront us.
Milley insisted last Sunday that “what I see is a military that’s exceptionally strong. It’s powerful; it’s ready. In fact, our readiness rates, the way we measure readiness, is better now than they’ve been in years.” This could be true, but how exactly do Milley and his woke henchmen measure readiness? After all, this is the same Milley who claimed that the Biden regime’s catastrophically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that “there was an extensive amount of planning in this.”
If the withdrawal from Afghanistan took an extensive amount of planning, then for all we know, Milley could be measuring readiness by the number of drag queens featured in military recruitment videos. Milley could define readiness by the depth of the military’s understanding of “white rage,” as he told Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) in June 2021 while explaining his study of the bogus Jan. 6 “insurrection.” Milley declared: “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.”
Evidently hoping that no one to whom he was speaking knew about the navy’s drag queen recruiter or his own previous remarks about “white rage” and the “insurrection,” Milley on Sunday claimed that “this military is a lot of things, but woke, it’s not. So I take exception to that. I think that people say those things for reasons that are their own reasons, but it’s not true. It’s not accurate. It’s not a broad-brush description of the U.S. military as it exists today.” It isn’t? Really?
Milley’s words would carry a great deal more weight were it not for the mountain of evidence that Milley’s military is far more interested in pushing the left’s insane social agenda than it is in actually winning wars. The lack of preparation for the withdrawal from Afghanistan was the biggest indication of this wrongheadedness, but there are plenty of others.
Most of them revolve around pushing the left’s fascination with depravity and perversion upon the military. In the summer of 2022, Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE)’s first “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Summer Festival,” featured (what else), a drag show. The festival, according to the Daily Wire, featured “a series of performances and speeches, including a poem on ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ and a drag show by Joshua Kelley, who performs under the moniker Harpy Daniels.” Harpy is the navy brass’ favorite sailor; he is also the drag queen they’ve decided to make the star of their recruitment videos....
Time to clean the U.S. of all commies!
I was four years old then. Turned five on Dec. 10.
Still enjoying life even with all its changes.
“Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley’s award recommendation will use “gender-specific” pronouns, a spokesperson for Milley told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“A recent update to Department of Defense policy required the gender-neutral “themself” to be used in recommendation letters.
“Should this issuance require additional updates from the August 7, 2023 change, the Department will follow the same process to update or change the issuance as required,” a Pentagon spokesperson told the DCNF.
If there are no recruits then they can low the budget
Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley put on more lip stick does lashes.
The maggot should be discharged with no pay.
The GloboHomo armed forces. Satan approves.
Milley is on his way out and NOW we get Charlie Brown. Someone who sees RACISM EVERYWHERE. Openly says that there are too many WHITE Officers.
Yea, we are SCREWED!!! I’d say Send In The Clowns, but it looks like the CLOWNS want the Trannys instead.
Shameful. Lots of folks deserve brig time.
Oh, this should surely help recruitment - especially from America’s “warrior class” in the South.
OTOH, let those drag queens go and risk getting sent back in a body bag from some 3rd world sh** hole.
My sons and nephew will be safe.
Drag queen featured in an F35, rapping “be all you can be”
What fool thought this was a good idea? Why fight anyone for Biden’s Drag Queen America? Let the Rainbow Flag people defend the nation they have built. We might be better off with Putin or Xi. The idea of America is gone—killed from within.
“I’m afraid the guilty party is in for a very severe punishment....
Maybe if we have to go to war with China there will be a huge sale on US military firearms similar to the one after WW II:
For Sale ... French Army Rifles
Never Fired
Only dropped once
Probably why they are meeting their recruiting goals, and the ones they do attract will probably be discharged for unsuitability.
GOD Help us if we get into a major war!

The U.S. Navy confirmed on Tuesday it has discontinued an online recruiting initiative featuring an enlisted drag queen that was aimed at bringing new sailors into the service.
In May, The Daily Caller revealed that the Navy brought on Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley — an active-duty drag queen who goes by the stage name Harpy Daniels and identifies as non-binary — to be a “Navy Digital Ambassador.” The Digital Ambassador Pilot Program, which ran from October 2022 to March 2023, was reportedly “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates” for military recruitment.
In a letter sent to Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., on Tuesday, Erik Raven, the under secretary of the Navy, confirmed that the branch’s Digital Ambassador Pilot Program “will not be continued.”
I am sure that the woke military leadership that thought the drag queen recruiting pitch was a good idea STILL think it is a good idea. I am certain that they think that just some more social media trans funding will make this great idea work.
They are insane.
