U.S. Marine Corps Goes Woke, Celebrates ‘Pride Month' with Rainbow Bullets
2022-06-04
[Breitbart] The U.S. Marine Corps went full woke on Wednesday, marking the first day of “Pride Month” with a celebratory image featuring rainbow bullets.

“Throughout June, the USMC [U.S. Marine Corps] takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members,” the U.S. Marine Corps said in a statement posted to social media.

“We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added, using the hashtags #PrideMonth and #USMC. The statement is accompanied by an image of a Marine helmet adorned with six bullets, each a different color, comprising a rainbow:

Commenters were woefully unamused by the pandering attempt.

“Maybe focus on what’s actually important to the nation’s defense. China and Russia are bolstering up their ranks with masculinity understanding it’s necessity, while we seem to be celebrating sexual choices and gender changes in our military,” one user remarked as another said, “This makes me sad.”

“Is this satire?” another asked.

“I’ve seen it all now,” another exclaimed as one added, “Focus on building warriors and less about social bullshit.”

The tweet came on the first day of “Pride Month,” which spurred mass pandering from the Biden administration, corporate media, and various organizations.

#9  Back when there was huge internal discussion of the tolerance for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the issue was one of impact of homosexual men in close contact with straight men and its impact on unit cohesion, combat effectiveness and the idea that rules are not situational. A number of us saw then the militancy of the gay movement to not just seek tolerance, or even overt acceptance, but dominance and demands of acceptance of increasingly aberrant behavior. We were shouted down, and now, they move to obliterate every aspect of traditional normalcy. This isn't tolerance, it is imperious, aggressive imprinting of societal norms. And for those of you who feel the need to categorize my opinion as homophobic, yep! I don't f-ing care.

#7  Everyone take a second and go look at the absolute shit photoshop job it is.

The lighting. The writing. The shadows. The cut-out. What is that, fkn layer outside shadow, you serious? Have we never seen the real world, so you don't know what it looks like?

The spelling is correct and light spectrum in order.

The media and tech savvy generation. Solid D.

Why not go make the prop, and take a photo? Take 10 minutes. Unserious, fake people.

#5  Yeah, I had an uncle who was a Marine vet, POW in Kora. He would have been very unhappy with what's happening to his beloved Corps.

#2  Reminds me of when my kids went to Elementary School. As they were taught of Black History Month... They all, as young children, realized of the lack of contribution to society.
