<p>Three of the six branches of the U.S. Military faced backlash on Wednesday after publishing tweets celebrating the start of LGBT community&#8217;s Pride Month.</p>
<p>The tweet that generated by far the most controversy was from the U.S. Marine Corps, which posted a picture of a helmet with rainbow-colored bullets.</p>
<p>&#8220;Throughout June, the USMC takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members,&#8221; the tweet stated. &#8220;We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect. #PrideMonth #USMC&#8221;</p>

<p>Notable responses to the tweet included a variety of mocking and sarcastic reactions:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Antonio Garcia Martinez</strong>, writer: &#8220;The arc of history is long, and it bends toward reality becoming an Onion meme from a decade ago.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Josh Hammer</strong>, Newsweek: &#8220;Good to know our military has its priorities in order.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Tim Pool</strong>, YouTuber: &#8220;I love the rainbow bullets. I wonder if its like a pigs blood thing and meant to offend the religious groups whose children we kill overseas.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Adam Herman</strong>, writer: &#8220;The military tweeting out rainbow bullets is a perfect self-parody of American interests.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Mike Hahn</strong>, Republican strategist: &#8220;Shouldn&#8217;t the military be busy telling Russia the exact time, location and type of weapons we&#8217;re sending to Ukraine?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Wajahat Ali</strong>, writer: &#8220;Good lord. This is real.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Gerry Callahan</strong>, radio host: &#8220;Wait. This is real? Rainbow bullets? THE MARINE CORPS? God help us. The wokesters have infected everything.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Angela Morabito</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;They really went looking for a symbol of inclusion and went with &#8211; I cannot stress this enough &#8211; bullets.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Tycho Brahe</strong>, commentator: &#8220;I&#8217;m not like a designer or anything but I feel like having the tips of the literal bullets in the pride colors might be communicating a different message than they hoped.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Nic Keaney</strong>, Twitter: &#8220;This gives me the ick.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>The U.S. Air Force also published a tweet, which stated: &#8220;Happy Pride Month!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are the best #USAF by leveraging the diverse backgrounds &amp; strengths of each member of our total force,&#8221; the tweet said. &#8220;We are committed to making the #AirForce a place where all can reach their full potential. #PRIDE #Pridemonth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro responded, &#8220;Our Air Force&#8217;s success has literally nothing to do with the subjective sense of sexual fulfillment of its members.&#8221;</p>

<p>The U.S. Space Force published an interview from Maj. Gen. Leah Lauderback about how the military is &#8220;working to change policy, change minds, and create opportunities for LGBTQ+ members of the military.&#8221;</p>
