US NAVY does Bud Light — Drag performer Harpy Daniels is Navy’s new ‘digital ambassador’ in bid to boost recruitment that’s set to fall short by 8,000
The United States Navy has turned to a drag performer in its efforts to reach younger recruits on digital platforms and social media.
- Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, announced he would be the Navy’s first ‘digital ambassador’
- The program was part of the Navy’s efforts to ‘reach a wide range of potential candidates’ as it seeks to recruit more Gen Z sailors
- Authorities say the Navy is still expected to fall 8,000 short of its recruitment goals for the year
The campaign is reminiscent of Bud Light’s partnership with trans-star Dylan Mulvaney which led to an immediate backlash, cost billions and caused the brand’s sales to plummet.

Young man there’s no need to feel down
I said young man pick yourself off the ground
I said young man ’cause your in a new town
There’s no need to be unhappy
Young man there’s a place you can go
I said young man when you’re short on your dough
You can stay there and I’m sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
