Donald Trump needs a ‘Full Steel’ army … enjoying a video eventually night time’s rally calling out Kamala Harris for wanting a “woke army” — and enjoying clips from Stanley Kubrick‘s “Full Steel Jacket.”
The previous POTUS was in Coachella, California Saturday night time when he began speaking army … and, he performed a video which is simpler to observe than clarify.

The video — which Trump has since posted and pinned to the highest of his X account — exhibits a model of America’s army run by him vs the army he says “Comrade” Kamala Harris will run.
Then video then jumps backwards and forwards from clips of the film “Full Steel Jacket” to movies of alleged servicemembers in drag in addition to Rachel Levine, a transgender girl who serves within the US Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps in Biden‘s administration.
Whereas not the primary time he is performed it at a rally, Trump is clearly doubling and tripling down on the clip. In his X publish from final night time, he wrote within the caption, “WE WILL NOT HAVE A WOKE MILITARY!”
Principally, DJT’s level appears to be he needs the army to regain some form of old skool, macho-man disposition … and, there does not appear to be a spot in his model of the army for homosexual servicemen and girls, at the least ones who come out publicly or costume in drag.
The scenes he exhibits from the film present abusive Gunnery Sergeant Hartman — performed by late actor R. Lee Ermey — berating his cadets and getting them prepared for conflict … attempting to toughen them up within the flick.
Value noting — and, spoiler right here — one in all his cadets, performed by Vincent D’Onofrio, finally ends up murdering Hartman … so, it is not an ideal analogy.
“Do not Ask, Do not Inform” was repealed again in 2010 beneath the Obama administration … permitting folks within the army to return out in the event that they so wished. The army has additionally added quite a few range initiatives, particularly since Biden got here into workplace.
Unclear what Donald Trump might attempt to impose on the army if elected subsequent month … however, we’re guessing it should look so much completely different than it does now.
