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,'

My uncle enlisted in the U.S. Navy the day after Pearl Harbor. He served the entire war in the Pacific Theater as a Sea Bee. I don't even want to even read this article.

Since real men don't dress up as girls what kind of recruits are they looking for. Those in charge of the military, like liberals in general, can't reason rationally or they would not be repeating the Bud Light fiasco.

Just what kind of sailor is the Navy trying to recruit? Maybe instead of U.S. Arizonas, Yorktowns, or Enterprise, we will have more like the U.S.N Harvey Milk. How proud to serve on that vessel.

China is going to be able to take Taiwan without firing a shot.
Probably use their girl scouts to do it.

I think it's okay if they can survive the boot camp in their drag outfit.

My dad, a 3 war Navy vet, is turning over in his grave. I served 21 years in the USAF and got out when "don't ask, don't tell" was phased in. All this woke, tranny b.s. is why people aren't enlisting.

My father served in the Navy in World War II and spent it in the Pacific campaign. He was at Okinawa. My uncle was a Sea Bee and I still have a cowrie shell he gave me.
Both of them would be steaming mad to see how low the Navy has sunk.

in 1979 when the Navy approved filming this music video aboard the USN Reasoner they didn't know that the village people were "alternative lifestyle" folks.

A new name for trans in the Military: Harpys. So who wants to join and pull out of places like Biden did in Afghanistan, have monetary cuts like under Obama plus have to go through trans training? And they wonder why the numbers are down.

FTA: it 'caused an uproar to many conservatives and Christian extremists.'
But of course, the decent sailors who objected to his performances are the extremists. No one would ever dream of calling a gay man who dresses like an exaggerated, clownish version of a woman the extremist.

In this case, "digital ambassador" seems an unfortunate choice of words.

After I got out of the Navy in the mid 70's the Navy Brass wanted to adopt the song 'In The Navy' by the Village People not knowing they were gay. I see the Navy Brass is still clueless.

They “manage” (not Lead) and recruit like we’ll never have another war, ever again. The military today is only about pushing social agendas, and recruiting is nothing more than trying to meet numbers; quality be damned. Berger (Marine Corps) is no different. If anything he’s worse because he’s not only doing the same with these issues, but he’s also purposely downgrading the capability of existing forces. It’s a sad situation.

As a Navy veteran I can tell you living in very close quarters with an aggressive homosexual is not fun. If the Navy wants to recruit more young men and women they need to get off this idiotic rush to elevate less than 10% of the population to a position of superiority. Acceptance is one thing but in your face all the time is the path to suicide for our military and thus death for the country. DEI is as deadly as a dedicated enemy and the top brass who came along after the Obama purges have their heads somewhere the sun don't shine.

Ok - so the definition of what military personnel do in their off duty time has been expanded. But the wearing of the US military uniform is covered by regulations and is not open to interpretation by local commanders. Whoever on the USS Ronald Reagan authorized this guy to parade around in his service coveralls in a wig and heel’s should be relieved of command.

Nothing like the life of a U.S. sailor, confined to sea on a ship with hundreds of Harpy Daniel types trying to get a grab.

The Navy will lose more people than they will gain.
Perhaps that is the point.
Our anti-American leaders want to decimate our military.
Either that, or research showed trans people are more aggressive, violent, and more likely to kill someone.

Hey, I get it. I understand. It's hard to recruit for the military these days. And I am sure, military leaders around the world share ideas on how to promote their armed services and recruit the best and brightest from among a young diverse population.
For example, I'm sure Mark Mille, called his counterpart in China, yeah, the same one he would have called to give an advanced heads up about President Donald J. Trump's military plans toward China. Yeah, that one. You remember. Anyway, I'm sure his Chinese counterpart confirmed, the China military also has a problem recruiting young men and they also have gone this drag queen PR route and are seeing enormous success from it. Yeah. I'm sure that's the strategy behind this.
SARCASM DRIPPING.
Everyday I get up and say our country gets worse and worse, every single day. And this article is today's further descent into madness and self destruction. All I can say is OMG! OMG!

We still have some soldiers and sailors? Increasing the woke ought to increase the rate of drain...
I used to feel bad that my brother got dismissed from Annapolis. Every year since the Arkansas grifters were in the White House, I get more thankful that our dad is retired and my brother wound up having a private sector career.
