The DoD has recognized pride month every year since 2012, following the repeal of DADT. Not a new policy; the "backlash" is a shift in how conservative media outlets report on the military, which *is* new. The case is a great data point in the debate over "politicization" and the military. (🧵)

They're laying the ground for an ideological purge if Trump takes office. Failing to pack the military with cronies was Trumps biggest dictator 101 mistake in his first term and they're not going to let him repeat it

We had diversity and sexual harassment training when I served 30 years ago. These fucking people are liars.

Yes. Thank you. So you think the rightwing media shift is causal to the armed forces opinion shift? This runs counter to the way many strategists think of r/w media — which is that it’s just giving people what they want to hear.

I bet they wouldn't "backlash" that much if Putin or Xi decided tomorrow to send a few missiles across the pond... Wth would anyone ever care about other people's sexuality, if they don't want to date them?!

There can be no other course of action for every God-Fearing™ conservative but to find a Navy Seal and insult them.

This reporting turn tracks directly with lower GOP support for the services. Many point to recent surveys as evidence of a "loss of confidence in the military" but the "loss" comes nearly all from GOP (-22pp), versus Dems (1pp), following the turn in media coverage.
