As if the Navy wasn't well and truly fucked already

 I can imagine the top-level briefings being held somewhere in the Pentagon.

"Well Bob, we're going to be 8000 Sailors short on our recruiting goals."

"How's that going to affect our mission, Dick?"

"It's going to really cut down on the number of flag officers we need, Bob.  And also hurt our ability to protect the country but less flag officers!"

"Great Scott, Dick!  We have to fix this fast!  What's your plan?"

"Two words, Bob.  DRAG QUEENS!"

The United States Navy has turned to a drag performer in its efforts to reach younger recruits on digital platforms and social media.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, announced on TikTok in November that he would be the Navy's first 'digital ambassador,' highlighting his journey from performing on board beginning in 2018 and growing to become an 'advocate' for those who 'were oppressed for years in the service.'

Kelley, who identifies as non-binary, was one of just five active sailors to participate as 'digital ambassadors' for the Navy in its 'efforts to reach a wide range of potential candidates,' a spokesperson told Daily Caller.

You know, when you're in charge of a force that's mocked for being the gayest branch of the military, maybe using a flaming gay man who prances around in women's clothing as a recruiting influencer isn't the best idea.  

There's a backlash to all of this queer tranny drag queen crap being pushed on normal people.  You might not see it.  You might not hear it.  But Bud Light is down 21% in sales, or thereabout.  People are sick of mentally ill men prancing around in public and we the people being told we have to celebrate them.  The senior leadership of the military is so disconnected from the people who serve that I'm not sure if this decision was based out of that ignorance, or if it was due to deliberate sabotage.
