Ok I get it now. “Woke” is anything that’s not straight white Christian.

The Pentagon doesn't have anything better to do than attack gay-themed tv shows?
Fuck Scott Bessent and Ric Grenell and the other queens in Trumpland

Who would win in a slap fight: Miles Hauszer or Peter Cumbreath?

I wouldn't compromise MY standards with the kind of garbage that usually comes out of the Pentagon.

I don't have Netfix, but isn't the show set in the past, during Don't Ask Don't Tell? So it's not really a depiction of the current military?

Just acknowledging that gay people exist is "woke" apparently

R6 that is too fine an observation for the hoi polloi, the media zeitgeist, and Pete Big Gun Hegseth.

I assume it takes the controversial position that DADT was discriminatory and wrong, r6.
Our deeply embarrassing masc4masc defense secretary probably hates the idea of gay soldiers and instructed his minion to make a pissy statement.

I wonder how many "straight" military men watched the show in secret

There are multiple threads about in the USMC reddit. A lot of the guys liked it.

Yeah, if you read the comment section in the article the first one was from a soldier who fought in Fallujah:
"Hey guy who served during Fallujah here. The baddest guys I served with were gay af. F Hegseth. Some of us actually served the real military"

Hegseth becoming more sus by the minute.

Boots is a true story or am I wrong? Hegseth is all hat. An imposter. He needs to stop watching TV.

Are you a 15-year-old girl? Who the fuck old enough to vote uses retarded grammar like “sus?”

Is it the Pentagon who are saying this? I’m sure they gave bigger things to worry about.

Anybody who believes that DADT was some new discriminatory thing instead of an incremental improvement has zero grasp of recent history.

My guess is Norman Lear is THRILLED with this response and laughing his ass off in the afterlife.

R17 I’ll just suggest you calm your tits on this one. One could just as easily ask why would anyone with any life experience get riled up over something so insignificant.

Do we actually get to laugh in the afterlife?

If anyone gets to laugh, R23, it's Normal Lear.
