EXCLUSIVE — Navy officials dismissed critics of its promotion of LGBTQ+ Pride as "bigots" and "a**holes," according to emails obtained by Fox News Digital.

Two Navy officials expressed disgust with negative public response to its social media posts for LGBTQ+ Pride Month last year, according to emails obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request from the Functional Government Initiative. The two officials schemed on how to best post its "rainbow wingtip graphic" for LGBTQ+ Pride Month, which they complained would be flooded with "feedback from trolls and ugliness."

One official wrote that he had a "really rough day" and was debating whether to disable comments on social media posts.


"I just don't have the emotional energy to deal with rude a**holes and we are planning to put up our Pride Month post," wrote the official, whose name and position are redacted. "I'd just as soon post our message without any feedback from trolls and ugliness."

The question is: "Will Putin destroy his armed forces faster than the Brass will destroy ours?"

With the budget being consumed by our armed forces, I can only pray that a change in the CinC will help recover the prestige and effectiveness that so many service personnel have worked hard, risking life and limb, to perfect.

Edited to add: THe video is "In the Navy" by the Village People.

I can only assume it has been disabled because so many are using it to parody the attitudes and actions of the Woke Pentagon.
