SERIOUSLY WTF? The Navy Has Hired This Drag Queen To Increase Recruitment?

In an effort to increase recruitment, the Navy has invited a drag queen, who is an active-duty sailor, to join its pilot “digital ambassador” program.

As America's military faces a historic recruiting crisis, the new tactic is intended to broaden the Navy’s reach of potential recruits through digital and social media platforms, according to a report.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, made an announcement about becoming one of the first “Navy Digital Ambassadors.”

A National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness report released in March by the Heritage Foundation suggested poor recruiting success was, at least in part, a result of social policies that have been imposed on the military.

The study found that diversity, equity, and inclusive initiatives have risked “supplanting the U.S. military’s culture of warfighting with a new culture of DEI promotion and compliance.”
