Critics Blast US Navy’s Use Of Drag Queen To Solve Recruiting Crisis

The U.S. Navy, facing an uphill battle to recruit new members, has decided one good way to go about the task is to deploy a drag queen influencer.

The Navy has named Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley as the first of five “Digital Ambassadors” for a new recruitment program. Kelley dresses in drag and goes by the stage name of Harpy Daniels.

None other than Robert J. O’Neill, a former US Navy SEAL who was part of the Team Six mission that took out Osama bin Laden, blasted the military branch’s new drag-queen recruitment campaign.

“Alright. The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bulls-t,” O’Neill wrote.
