Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley stood by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s recent decision to cancel a drag show at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

“I think is the absolute right thing to do,” Milley told CNN on June 5. He added that drag shows “were never part of DOD [Department of Defense] policy to begin with and they’re certainly not funded by federal funds.”
