So the US Navy is now using a drag queen named Harpy Daniels to try to boost enlistment....

@Thinkerbell I know you're deep into this debate but I have to say.... All the trans people I've seen on TV have been very nice and very balanced. I don't want to offend you, just saying.

@Matt85 @Thinkerbell Matt is quite right...trans people are usually quite nice people.

However, what the Navy fails to realize is that most STRAIGHT young men will find this advertisement slightly repellant, and won't want to associate themselves with what they will begin to perceive as a military organization filled with gay or drag or otherwise non straight people.

Being confined on board a navy vessel with such people would be similar to young girls being forced to share bathrooms with biological men. In other words, they wouldn't want to drop the soap in the shower...

I heard on the news the other day that the young men who might JOIN the several branches of the military WANT to join a service in which they feel they will be defending our nation and doing a great and GOOD service for their families and their nation. They are willing to risk their LIVES to this end.

They are NOT willing to join the military only to find themselves forced to sit through endless indoctrination classes aimed at force feeding them DEI, CRT and GENDER studies.

@Matt85

It has nothing to do with how "nice and balanced" trans people may be.
It has to do with numbers.

"New study estimates 1.6 million in U.S. identify as transgender"

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-study-estimates-16-million-us-identify-transgender-2022-06-10/

That's about .5% of the U.S. population.

The Navy has about a 16% shortfall in recruitment.

The .5% is NOT going to make up for that.

@Budwick It's quite true. Harpy Daniels is advertising for the US Navy on Instagram. Apparently they are trying to reach Gen Z's. They think all Gen Z's will want to join the Navy now...knowing who and what is IN the Navy.

@Budwick Yes, it is true. Sad but true.

@SoulKey I don't think they do, TBH. I think this is part of a larger socialist plan. We are going to be eaten by China.

@4meAndyou

@sunsporter1649 He sold us out a long time ago. It's all going to be exposed very soon.

@specman I heard a bit of the background...Harpy Daniels says that "they" do not consider themselves male OR female....but they definitely were wearing black eyeliner while wearing their uniform.

@TheOrionbeltseeker And no doubt, with people like this in charge of the military, we will lose every war...because they are so clueless.
