The Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada recently hosted its first-ever drag queen show at one of its on-base dining and entertainment clubs, according a base spokesperson.

Nellis Air Force Base said in an email statement to Breitbart News:

Nellis Air Force Base and the 99th Air Base Wing hosted its first-ever drag show Thursday, June 17, at the Nellis Club. The event was sponsored by a private organization and provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the history and significance of drag performance art within the LGBT+ community.

Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military. Nellis Air Force Base is committed to providing and championing an environment that is characterized by equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.

The drag queen show came to light after Air Force veteran podcaster “BK” posted a digital flyer for the event that read: “DRAG-U-NELLIS” and “CLASS IS IN SESSION.”

“Discover the significance of Drag in the LGBT+ Community at the Nellis Club,” it said.

It was scheduled for Friday, June 17, at 5 p.m. and “Sponsored by the Nellis Top 3.”

Watch you six!

[ProudDeplorable]

Instead of war-games do they have pillow fights?

[dblshot]

Watch your six!

The military has done shows for centuries to amuse men away from home and women.

Dress up the pretty boy or dress up Sgt Five O’clock Shadow and laugh about it.

Now you have to take it seriouslh.

[LIConFem]

We’re cooked…

[Mr. Mohasky]

All I can think of is Gary Busey in drag in the movie Under Siege.

Drag Queen Show good . . . Tail-hook BAD! s/

“... is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.”

No really, it’s not. Our military did fine for about two and a half centuries without that cr@p.

This is intended to weaken our military.

[M Kehoe]

Well, it ain’t your daddy’s Air force, but they are flying your granddad’s BUFFs.

Imho, morale and esprit de corp left long ago. My guess circa 2009.

Time to bring back the stripper shows at the O-club and the Enlisted club. If the base commander says no, sue not him but the civilians in the Services Group and the Morale, Welfare and Recreation group.

What's good for the gander in goose clothing is good for the goose in little to no clothing.

Well, I guess I could understand it making everyone more ready to kill but maybe I am misunderstanding what they mean.

Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon did it best. 'Some Like It Hot'

[Flick Lives]

Something very bad is going to happen. I can feel it in my bones. We’re unprepared and focused on utter crap. And all this woke BS is going to come crashing down.

Ensuring our ranks reflect and are inclusive of the American people is essential to the morale, cohesion, and readiness of the military.

Great plan--they need to include child molesters, murderers and bank robbers to be "inclusive".

[joma89]

All the while, Christians and white men are ridiculed, harassed and accused of criminal behavior simply for existing.

[TokarevM57]

....hmmmmm...I wonder how many of these pervert shows are put on by China’s PLA or Russia’s armed forces.....yeah, sure...this country is screwed....

[Magnatron]

Will this be required attendance or merely strongly suggested for advancement?

[LibertarianLiz]

A “drag queen show” is essential to morale and readiness. Really?
