Donald Trump’s administration has hit out at another TV show after recently slamming a LGBTQ+ series.

It has only been a week since Netflix's eight-part miniseries Boots came out which tells the take of a US marine sergeant’s exploration of his sexuality. Based on Greg Cope White's 2015 coming-of-age memoir The Pink Marine, it’s a real story set in the nineties, when it was illegal for gay people to serve in the military.

And while it came out the other month, it took until 19 October for Donald Trump's team to notice the themes of the story.

A prompt statement was given to Entertainment Weekly by Kingsley Wilson, the press secretary of the Pentagon, which condemned the creators of the show.

"Under president Trump and secretary [Pete] Hegseth, the US military is getting back to restoring the warrior ethos," it began.

"Our standards across the board are elite, uniform, and sex-neutral because the weight of a rucksack or a human being doesn’t care if you’re a man, a woman, gay, or straight."

Wilson continued: "We will not compromise our standards to satisfy an ideological agenda, unlike Netflix whose leadership consistently produces and feeds woke garbage to their audience and children."

The show has reached number six on the most watched show list, with viewers praising the themes and sensitivity of the topic.

But the US government isn’t finished with Netflix just yet, as the Pentagon has now released a statement for another project.

Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite has come under fire for its depiction of the US’s missile defence system.

The film follows the story of a defence team trying to work out who shot a nuclear missile at the US, and how to respond before impact.

During the tense talks of how to stop the missile from striking the nation, the defence secretary, played by Jared Harris, reveals that their current missile defences have a 50 per cent chance of interception, despite costing $50bn.

In light of the scene, a memorandum from the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) was obtained by Bloomberg, which shows the agency talking about the lack of fact in the film.

Dated on 16 October, it says that while the flick ‘highlights that deterrence can fail, which reinforces the need for an active homeland missile defense system,’ it downplays the capabilities of the missile interception system.

“The fictional interceptors in the movie miss their target, and we understand this is intended to be a compelling part of the drama intended for the entertainment of the audience,” but real-world testing results ‘tell a vastly different story’.

The MDA allegedly said the 50 per cent reference in the film was based on earlier prototypes, which are now out of date.

As of right now, current models ‘have displayed a 100 percent accuracy rate in testing for more than a decade.’

In a statement to Bloomberg News, the Pentagon said the film ‘does not reflect the views or priorities of this administration’.

It said it was not consulted and its system ‘remains a critical component of our national defense strategy, ensuring the safety and security of the American people and our allies’.
