This is the kind of crap Allen West warned about when he fought the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’. It’s political correctness and it has no place in the military.
But to them, the only thing that doesn’t belong in the military is Christianity:
FOX NEWS – The U.S. Air Force said that a well-known drag queen group was invited to perform on base during a “Diversity Day” celebration because drag is a “symbol of gay pride and unity. But the performance sparked outrage among some airmen who called the drag show “totally offensive and inappropriate.”
Jewels and the Brunchettes performed to a small crowd at the Los Angeles Air Force Base on Aug. 8, the military confirmed.
The Air Force said in a statement to Fox News that “Diversity Day” featured eight cultural groups and was meant to “foster equality and diversity in the workplace.”
Photographs provided to Fox News show an individual wearing a giant wig and sporting form-fitting dresses performing to a sparse crowd underneath the American flag.
“Drag acts to this day represent the struggle for freedom and equality of the LGBT community, while at the same time providing a deep-rooted historical form of entertainment for the LGBT culture,” said Peggy Hodge, a spokesperson for the Office of Public Affairs.
The military said the drag queen group did not include any members of the Air Force.

One airman, who asked not to be identified, told Fox News he was offended by the performance and said it had no place on a military base.
“I am really surprised that this happened on a military installation,” the airman told Fox News. “I get that people want to be able to have committed relationships with members of the same sex, but this crossed the line.”
The airman said it was ironic that the Air Force is cracking down on Christians being able to openly share their faith but they would allow individuals to dress in drag.
“We can’t even have Bibles on our desks,” he said. “This base is not a platform for political agendas. It is a military installation. The display was totally inappropriate and offensive.”
