U.S. Military Using Drag Queens for Recruitment
Front Page Magazine ^ | 21 Sep, 2023 | Robert Spencer

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....

Of course there was. A cluster**** of that magnitude doesn’t simply happen all on its own. It takes work, real hard work to leave $10,000,000,000 worth of military hardware in the hands of 7th century savages who have sworn to destroy Western civilization.

Just part of the pervasive artificial narrative that has been created for the populace. The military is powerful and ready even though many of our ships won’t sail for lack of manpower and maintenance. We have 100 million dollar air planes that can’t fly in a thunderstorm. We have stripped our armories for the sake of foreign oligarchs, and squandered our petroleum reserves. And we can’t recruit enough men to replace those who are getting out. Other than that though, yeah — we’re ready for anything.

Im trying to imagine the rules of engagement a woke US military will employ when the boots hit the ground in Ukraine.

Milley is a top tier gaslighter ... he is not a military man he is a politician, pure and simple. His words and actions show his fraudulence at every turn.

How far back in time do you suggest we return to?

Well, it might get mentally ill people off the street, but the military will have to hire shrinks to address the mental illness.
