Pentagon sparks criticism after dismissing Netflix’s gay military drama Boots as ‘woke garbage’

The Pentagon has issued a statement decrying what they call Netflix’s “ideological agenda” in response to the streamer’s new sleeper hit, Boots.

Set in the 1990s, when being openly gay in the U.S. military was still illegal, Boots follows a closeted teenager from Louisiana who impulsively enlists in the U.S. Marine Corps.
