Sounds discriminatory.

Wonder if the Pentagon will get a surprise audit from the IRS, or investigated by the FBI for this very obvious hate crime against LGBTQ people literally the world over...

Likewise.

I would have been most upset had I been forced to go to a drag show in the military. There is nothing entertaining about drag shows! Some people might like that sort of 'entertainment' but to me, it's a form of punishment. I was forced to live through one once. I hated every minute of it. Not my cup of tea. Fortunately, it wasn't the whole evening.

Great idea — we need to show those Huns who swings the biggest guns!

It isn't. But you'll never, in a million years, see a leftist admitting this. And they reason is that one of the cornerstones for leftist philosophy is hypocrisy.

I was watching a program on either NatGeo or Smithsonian last week (I think it was called "The Pacific Battles in Color" or something of the sort), in programs for respecting Memorial Day sacrifices, and there was one program showing Navy men heading to war in the south Pacific. Before they got there, there was relaxation and hazing incidents (for newcomers I suppose), and one of those events was a drag show. So it's been around in the military for quite some time.

But what they did was more of a hazing thing than acceptance, even endorsement, of deviant behavior like we see now.

As they should. When a nation places LGBTQIA+ "representation" and promotes transsexual officers, the readiness of the military becomes secondary, if even then.

Our president is falling down on stage and our Air Force is doing drag shows.

China must be quaking in their boots.

I'm ok w/ the DOD not "funding" this...so long as they don't ban soldiers from participating or attending a Drag Show while "off duty" and not onsite.

It's more of a practical joke. The command advertises women dancers will be performing to boost moral. The unsuspecting sailors get their hopes up, and and are punked, when it's just guys with mops on their heads. That's not the same thing as professional transvestites putting on a serious show. As opposed to WWII, when it was making a mockery of transvestites.

Do you see the difference?
