US Navy platformed ‘drag queen influencer’ to attract youth to the military in hiring crisis

The U.S. Navy has revealed that it approached a "drag queen influencer" to help persuade new recruits to join the military.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, who goes by the stage name "Harpy Daniels," announced back in November 2022 that he was the Navy’s "Digital Ambassador." Kelley has over 1,300,000 likes on TikTok.

While Kelley’s Instagram bio shows that the performer’s opinions "are not endorsed by DoD or DoN," the drag queen claims to have danced in drag for service officers on a number of different occasions, sharing one video from 2018.

They will come in droves with the promise of surgery and all medical bills covered.

The govt will adjust the enlistment time so that it is exact to the amount of time that it takes to transition and then they can leave with all bills paid and all benefits. All of their active service will be spent in the hospital and recuperating and none will be for the benefit of our military and country.

In the Navy I was in, a drag queen would have been kicked out.

There can be no other reason for this, than an effort to render our military ineffective.

Chairman Xi smiles.

This is the “Bud Light” school of marketing....

It would be funny if it were not the Navy.

The Admirals are guilty of treason.

Kelley has over 1,300,000 likes on TikTok.

1.) Has any of the 1.3 m likes translated to a new recruit. 2.) If it did, do we want them in our Navy?

The one thing I don’t have a question is what our adversaries think. They are laughing and it makes great anti American fodder for propaganda.

it worked for BUD LIGHT,
and they have to do more than just make flammable boats
without adequate surveillance, controls and people,
to pay-off/work-off their already cashed treason salaries.

This isn’t going to work out well for Naval recruiters. I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea.

And all at once geophysicists were alarmed by simultaneous tremors originating out of regions in Russia, China and South America.

In other news, a leak out of NSA suggests uproarious laughter erupted from intel agencies and leadership offices in the Kremlin, CCP & Venezuela.

Long, long way from *don’t ask don’t tell*.

If this is where we’re going then we deserve the fall that’s happening.

So it’s back to the British navy - rum, sodomy, and the lash, except none of it is punishment.
