Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is more focused on promoting drag queens waving the rainbow flag in a cultural war instead of preparing a real fighting force advancing the red, white, and blue on a battlefield. Today, House Republicans are standing up for our men and women in uniform and getting liberal politics out of our military,\u201d said Congressman Josh Brecheen.\n\nOther Conservative Wins Included in the NDAA:\n\nProhibits Secretary of Defense from paying for or reimbursing travel for abortions (Rep.
