Walsh joked that the sailor\u2019s \u201cterrifying our enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Appealing to Masculinity<\/h3>\n<p>The Daily Wire host said throughout history, the number one focus for the military has been \u201ceffectively killing the bad guys, killing the enemy.\u201d He said that has been achieved by \u201cbeing a unit \u2026 suppressing your individual priorities and desires,\u201d and this drag queen recruiter is totally opposite of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis not going to reverse that [recruitment] problem. It\u2019s just not going to,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cThere really is no way to recruit consistently and reliably and keep the military strong without appealing to masculinity. They could try all these other ways of recruiting. None of it works. The only thing that consistently works is by trying to appeal to men, to young men, to appeal to their sense of duty, their sense of honor, their sense of patriotism.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Megyn Kelly\u2019s Take<\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday, the Sirius XM \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show\u201d podcast host shared similar comments about the situation and asked flat out, \u201cWhere\u2019s our men?\u201d She said the Navy missed its recruitment goal in 2022 and is reportedly expected to miss it by 6,000 in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would much rather have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/matt-walsh-megyn-kelly-slam-u-s-navy-using-drag-queen-sailor-for-recruitment\/\" title=\"Matt Walsh and Megyn Kelly criticize Navy for using drag queen sailor in recruitment.\">bada** actual woman defending<\/a> the country or a regular man, that [drag queen sailor] I don\u2019t want defending me,\u201d the former Fox News host said. \u201cI miss our men. I quote him everyday, Christian Walker, \u2018bring our men back.\u2019 Where are our men? Where are they?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the way to improve the Navy\u2019s ridiculous recruiting effort. Fail,\u201d Kelly continued. \u201cThey are already way behind. \u2026 You don\u2019t understand who you\u2019re trying to recruit.\u201d Later, Kelly explained that there\u2019s an \u201cunusually high\u201d percentage of those in the trans community who are suffering from \u201cvery disturbed thinking\u201d and \u201cissues\u201d and that\u2019s not the kind of \u201cpeople we want to recruit and give guns to.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p>The controversy surrounding the U.S. Navy\u2019s decision to use a drag queen sailor as a \u201cdigital ambassador\u201d has sparked outrage from Matt Walsh and Megyn Kelly. Both hosts believe that the Navy\u2019s recruitment efforts should focus on appealing to masculinity and traditional values, rather than trying to appeal to a broader audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Walsh and Megyn Kelly slammed the U.S. Navy for using a drag queen sailor as a \u201cdigital ambassador\u201d to attract new recruits.
