Cracks in Biden's wokester Pentagon? Military backs off from promoting gay culture

In the wake of the Bud Light boycott, something interesting is happening in the military, too.

According to Politico:

The Pentagon will no longer allow shows involving drag performers to be hosted at military facilities, a spokesperson said Thursday, enforcing a longstanding policy amid intensifying pressure from Republican lawmakers to cancel the practice.

Drag shows on military bases have been a contentious issue in recent months as part of a larger push by some Republican lawmakers who say personnel policies including diversity training and racial-justice education distract from warfighting and harm recruiting efforts.

There's also this, reported on Fox News:

The U.S. Navy has taken down posts celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride month on social media, including rainbow banners that read, "Pride."

Pride posts made on the Navy's Instagram and Twitter accounts on Thursday, June 1, are no longer there as of Friday, June 2. The posts showed outlines of Navy vessels and aircraft with streaming rainbow trails and the word "Pride" stylized in different colors. They were removed without explanation.

A meme account on Twitter called "End Wokeness" called attention to how the Navy also took down an LGBTQ+ Pride banner on its account. Some users left comments suggesting the posts were taken down in response to backlash over military support for Pride.

The tweet is here:

June 2, 2023

There also have been problems with drag queen story hours on U.S. military bases, which the Pentagon has denied funding but been caught funding, with cancellations that followed, and drag events in U.S. military schools, which got one civilian official removed from her post for it, albeit not fired.

These recent LGBTQ events have been very hard and direct changes of course for Joe Biden's Department of Defense. Posts were up, and now they're down. Events were scheduled, and now they're canceled.

White men are dropping out and they need them as cannon fodder for the next war.

How are they going to keep European support of they no longer prioritize LGBT? And without European support, Ukraine is DOOMED.

...so I expect most Ukraine War supporters WILL NOT be happy with this change of priorities of our military, not one bit happy.

The Deep State Globohomo’s are finally realizing that you cannot claim to have moral authority when lecturing other countries about the evils of Russia if at the same time are ramming the depraved homosexual agenda.

It does not work.

I do not want to here the Quisling Puppet Biden State Department talk about how Russia is the greatest evil in the world when you are also grooming kindergarten children at filthy degenerate drag shows.

The entire world can see the stark contrast. It is the Western countries, led by the Biden CIA and Pentagon who are the evil pricks, not Russia.

There’s a sexual kink that hasn’t been added to ‘the list’ yet - it’s ‘shit eaters’.

How would the world feel if Biden bragged there are more ‘shit eaters’ in his administration than any previous administration. And the top Pentagon Generals were ‘shit eaters’ as if that was a legitimate qualification?

Our Friends and OUR enemies would think we were nuts... and they would be right.

The Military Brass is dead to me.

Why?

1. No accountability for the Afghanistan Withdrawal.

2. This LBJTQREFF nonsense.

Until heads roll not only at the Pentagon but also at all the elite Military Academies I will not support any more wars.

Whites are still the majority in the USA.
Even though the MSM paints a different picture.
Most the world things Fags, blacks and Karens are the majority judging from our Commercials and sit coms.
You stigmatize and insult us white MEN in favor of a few minorities, then we will just take our ball and go home.
You figure out how to play with no ball and no support.
Don’t forget The guys mowing the lawn while insulting classified as “Hispanic” are as white as I am.
Senator Ted Cruz for example.

The Communist Chinese PLA is on a similar recruiting program. There us a video on Rumble, = https://rumble.com/vhbggd-u.s.-army-recruiting-vs.-chinese-army-recruiting.html, which shows Chinese soldiers shooting guns and blowing things up, in contrast with a U.S. military recruiting cartoon showing a girl raised by a mother and a castrated father dressed up as a woman joining the Army.

The West is fortunate that the Ukrainians are sufficiently male to fight the Russians with some success. If the Chinese turned on the West, I fear the decadent U.S. and other Western militaries would get the worst whipping since the Wehrmacht beat the Dutch, Belgians, French, and British in a few months in 1940.

“Russian army ad, be a man”

LOL...and die needlessly in Ukraine. The Russian military is completely inept. In a war with NATO, they’d have to defend Moscow in 3 weeks.

For all of the idiocy woke in our military, it’s coming from the upper echelon who are political. Our actuall warriors are 98% elite warriors, well trained, well armed and well lead by NCOs and operational officers on the ground.

They are unrivalled, supported by F35s and stealth bombers.

Although I agree that the US Military is the finest in the world, and comprised of the finest soldiers in the world, your post is completely irrationally biased anti-Russian propaganda. Die needlessly in Ukraine could very well be “die needlessly in Iraq for G W MORON”

And let’s not forget this pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan by traitor Joe.

The Russians that are dying, think it is very real and not propaganda.
