The Pentagon has slammed Netflix for airing “woke garbage” in the wake of the release of queer military drama series 'Boots'.

Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson told Entertainment Weekly that it doesn’t support 'Boots', which it claimed has an “ideological agenda”.

Boots follows '13 Reasons Why' star Miles Heizer as Cameron Cope, a closeted teen who signs up to the marine corps after struggling to find a sense of purpose at home.

The Netflix drama is set in 1990, when being gay in the US armed forces was still illegal. The US military ended its ban on gay people serving when president Bill Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was repealed in 2011.

Wilson said: “Under President Trump and Secretary [Pete] Hegseth, the U.S. military is getting back to restoring the warrior ethos. 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.”

The statement added that officials “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.”
