The military’s experiencing a metamorphosis.
In years past, America’s Armed Forces were presented as a bastion of steel-jawed toughness.
There was once the notion that enlisting would “make a man out of” entrants.
The best I can tell, a conscious attempt at rebranding is afoot.
Apropos of that, as relayed by Breitbart, Nevada’s Nellis Air Force Base recently hosted an event which would once have been thought at odds with the service branches.
The production: a drag show.
“Drag-u-Nellis” marks a Nellis first.
An invitation to the program — which took place June 17th — was posted to Twitter (and previously shared by RedState’s streiff):

Drag queens appear to be coming into their own.
This month, an Arkansas women’s shelter fundraiser featured the “Purple Reign” drag show.
The shelter noted, “Domestic Violence affects the LGBTQIA+ community at rates significantly higher than any other demographic community.”
