US Navy's Recruiting Pitch: Join the Navy and Be a Man Like This Drag Performer That We're Suuuuuuuperrr Proud Of

Nothing gay about the Navy!

This'll turn around that 8,000 recruit shortfall lickety-split! And I do mean "lickety!"

And I do mean "split!"

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, announced he would be the Navy's first 'digital ambassador'

The program was part of the Navy's efforts to 'reach a wide range of potential candidates' as it seeks to recruit more Gen Z sailors

Authorities say the Navy is still expected to fall 8,000 short of its recruitment goals for the year

When you drive out straight conservative traditional men, you have to turn to that equally-important pool of potential military recruits: sissies and transvestites.

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...

What's the opposite of a plot twist?

A plot straight line?

... 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,' a spokesperson told Daily Caller.

None of the digital ambassadors were paid, the spokesperson said, and no promotional or recruiting materials with the ambassadors exist.

The campaign is reminiscent of Bud Light's partnership with trans-star Dylan Mulvaney which led to an immediate backlash, cost billions and caused the brand's sales to plummet.

The Navy's digital ambassador program has now ended, running from October 2022 through March 2023, and officials are now working to assess its effectiveness.

But authorities say the Navy is still expected to fall 8,000 short of its recruitment goals for the year.

You don't say.

...

'In FY23, we expect to miss our active duty recruiting goal 8,000 Sailors short of our 37,700 goal,' she continued. 'Additionally, we expect to finish 3,000 Sailors short of our 10,330 recruiting goal for the Navy Reserve.

'We are using all available levers in FY23 to increase recruiting, while maintaining our standards.'

In March, a National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness report suggested poor recruiting was, at least in part, a result of the military's new woke policies.

It found that DEO initiatives have risked 'supplanting the US military's culture of warfighting with a new culture of DEI promotion and compliance.'

More from the Daily Caller:

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, stage name Harpy Daniels, announced the Navy invited him to become the first "Navy Digital Ambassador" in a November 2022 social media post, highlighting his journey from performing on deck in 2018 to becoming a "leader" and "advocate" of people who "were oppressed for years in the service."

These very intelligent, top-of-their-class marketing gurus all have the same idea for every single product: Gay it up. Add trannies. Do some race- and gender-swapping.

Why bother hiring them? You know exactly what they're going to say before you take the first meeting with them. Just fill your advertisements with Women With Beards and Chicks with Dicks on your own initiative.

Cut out the middlemen -- the middlekin, I mean -- and pass the savings on to the consumers!
