Air Force Celebrates 'Pride Month' Amid Recruiting Crisis

As Joe Biden’s reckless foreign policy puts the world on the edge of catastrophe with conflicts already raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, the Air Force is directing its focus toward the biggest issue implicating U.S. national security: LGBT “pride.”

In an under-the-radar maneuver, Marianne Malizia, the Air Force’s chief diversity officer, issued a memo Monday informing service members that the Department of the Air Force recognizes June as “LGBTQ+ Pride Month 2024.” In doing so, she claimed the month represents “a time to celebrate the diversity and inclusivity of our force, and to honor the contributions of our LGBTQ+ Airmen, Guardians, and dependents.”

“Our Air and Space Forces are stronger because of the unique backgrounds and experiences of our Total Force that engender a more inclusive, and ultimately more effective, team,” Malizia wrote.

An Air Force representative confirmed the authenticity of the memo to The Federalist. A copy of the document was initially posted on X by former Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was relieved of command in 2021 after publicly discussing the increasing pervasiveness of leftism in the military.
