ANALYSIS<\/strong> \u2013 America\u2019s Navy is sinking fast \u2013 last year, the world\u2019s premier maritime combat service launched, then apparently scuttled, a new recruiting campaign led by an active-duty \u2018non-binary\u2019 sailor drag queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And our nation\u2019s enemies are likely quaking in their boots at the promise of even more drag queens being recruited to fight on the front lines by our armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy’s appointment of a gay cross-dresser as its first ‘digital ambassador,’ while struggling with recruitment, has sparked outrage, disbelief and mockery of the Navy and the entire Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Navy spokesperson told Fox News<\/a> that the now defunct program was \u201cdesigned to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates\u201d as the Navy battles \u201cthe most challenging recruiting environment it has faced since the start of the all-volunteer force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, has a large following on TikTok (of course). He announced his role in November but has only recently been discovered by mainstream news sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(NOTE: I don\u2019t use preferred pronouns. He is either a \u2018he\u2019 or she is a \u2018she,\u2019 regardless of how they \u2018identify.\u2019 And \u2018they\u2019 is only used to refer to two or more individuals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelley calls himself an ‘advocate’ for those who ‘were oppressed for years in the service.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many have compared him to Dylan Mulvaney, the biologically male trans activist whose association with Bud Light sparked a PR crisis for the brand and sent sales plummeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Jim Banks, a Republican from Indiana, tweeted that “Biden DoD’s [Department of Defense] recruitment is as good as Bud Light’s marketing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
