I see from the Russian News that the United States Air Force declined permission for one of it's Air Force Bases in Nevada to pay for a drag show on base.
"The Pentagon has called off a drag show which was scheduled to take place at an Air Force base in Nevada to mark the beginning of Pride Month on June 1, according to a Wednesday report by NBC News, citing US Defense Force officials.
The event, which had been signed-off on by US Air Force leadership, was subsequently scrapped on the orders of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who informed the organizers that it was not Pentagon policy to approve funding for drag shows to take place on Air Force installations.
They would be instead permitted to hold the event off-base if they chose to do so, an Air Force spokesperson said. It was set to be the third annual drag show performance held at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada in recognition of LGBT+ members of the US armed services."

I find this kind of amusing since I was an attendee at one of the very last lingerie shows at the Officer's Club at NAS Oceana a long time ago when I was attending the Guided Missile School down the road. Can you imagine the size and shapes of cows the Pentagon and military leadership would have if someone actually proposed bringing back attractive women to put on a nice lingerie show today at any military installation in the world? They used to have some really fine happy hour entertainment back in the day.
