US Marines Mocked Over Pride Month Pageantry
With pride month upon us, it's not uncommon to see companies signaling
virtue with rainbow everything in order to let the world know they
support the LGBTQβ community, lest they be considered un-woke.

Now, the US Marine Corps has joined the fray, tweeting a photo of a
marine helmet with bullets painted in rainbow colors on the strap.
Throughout June, the USMC takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring
the contributions of our LGBTQ service members. We remain committed to
fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the
values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect.#PrideMonth

Many took offense at the meme - suggesting the Marines are being divisive.
"Seriously? How does fixating on differences foster cohesion and
unity?" tweeted Florida Governor Ron Desantis' press secretary
Christina Pushaw.

Fuck out of here with this. We don't take political sides, and we
don't engage in social commentary. We kill the enemy... period.

This is not a good look Shane. It makes us look weak . Ridiculous.
