Pentagon blasts Netflix over Boots drama
Tap title to read story
The Pentagon condemned Netflix’s hit gay military drama Boots as “woke garbage,” with press secretary Kingsley Wilson saying that under president Trump and defense secretary Pete Hegseth the military is restoring a sex‑neutral “warrior ethos” and won’t bow to ideology. Based on Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine, the 1990s‑set series about a closeted recruit has drawn praise and nuance from critics, and star Miles Heizer noted its unexpected timeliness. The dust‑up comes amid criticism from the right of Netflix, even as the streamer remains the market leader with 301.6 million paid users.
