""Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, the U.S. military is getting back to restoring the warrior ethos," Wilson wrote in a statement to the outlet. "Our standards across the board are elite, uniform, and sex neutral because the weight of a rucksack or a human being doesn't care if you're a man, a woman, gay, or straight. We will not compromise our standards to satisfy an ideological agenda, unlike Netflix whose leadership consistently produces and feeds woke garbage to their audience and children.""
""Boots," released on Oct. 9, is a loose adaptation of "The Pink Marine," a memoir by former Marine Sgt. Greg Cope White. In the series' first season, a Louisiana man named Cameron Cope (played by Miles Heizer) follows his best friend, Ray (Liam Oh), in joining the Marines. The show takes place in 1990, at a time when the military forbade lesbian, gay and bisexual people from enlisting, and tracks Cameron and Ray's progress through boot camp."
