Netflix has canceled the LGBTQ-themed military series Boots, which the Pentagon had previously called “woke garbage.”

The Netflix series told the story of a gay Louisiana teen named Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), who, according to the Netflix description “finds new purpose — and unexpected brotherhood — with his motley team of fellow recruits” after he joins the military during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy during the 1990s, which barred openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals from enlisting until its official repeal in 2011. Former President Bill Clinton (D) instituted the policy through the Department of Defense. Produced by the late Norman Lear (All in the Family), Boots earned significant praise from critics, with a 90 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes as well as a 7.9 on IMDB, with Ben Travers of IndieWire hailing it as a “sweet story.”

I went through basic training but was pulled 1 week from the end of basic training because I had lied about medical problems when enlisting.

When I enlisted in the Navy in 1961 I had to fill out a medical questionnaire that seemed to list every disease, condition or malady on Earth. One of the items was "homosexual tendencies". Do you recall if that was still an item in '86? Or had the faggotizing already begun?

Nope...Army. But we took showers too.

I checked out a bassoon one time, just to see what I could do with it. I got a pretty good sound, but the dog kept doing the “tilty-head” thing.

Agreed.
While not a super macho front line trenches and jungles warrior type, Farr did serve in the military and later in the reserves. Which is more than some of the critics.

“He was drafted in 1957, and underwent basic training at Fort Ord in California[9][10] He was made a Broadcast Specialist and worked on training videos in various roles at Fort Knox, the Army Pictorial Service, and Fort Huachuca before shipping out to Korea. Abroad, he was part of the Special Services and worked on the Far East Network. When Red Skelton traveled to Japan and Korea to do a USO tour, he requested Farr’s service as his assistant.[10][9][20]
After two years of active duty,[1] Farr returned to the United States, where he spent an additional two years on reserve.

He was pretty funny.

Remember when we though Milton Berle in drag was funny? When I found out that Randolph Scott and Cary Grant lived together in a house for ten years, it made me sad even though they never claimed to be gay.

Eh? Were you in the Navy or something?

I was in both and never had it happen.

"What the hell is real saxophonist doing making that noise???"

[rlmorel]

I did not know that...:)

[PCPOET7]

I recall that we had individuals that were not gay deciding that enlisting was a mistake, so they purposely pretended to be gay at the processing center before actually starting basic... they pretended to be getting it on in the bathroom also when being processed out of the military I was in a barracks for a week with a lot of other guys being processed out because of homosexuality for the most part good guys that wanted to be in the military. I have no problem with gay people when it is not identifying aspect of who they see themselves as.

[real saxophonist]

That is exactly the gif I was looking for. He was a Pekingese, not a Pug.

[rlmorel]

LOL, ever since the movie “Men In Black” I cannot see a picture of a Pug without wanting to laugh!
