The current leaders of U.S. military forces apparently have no tolerance for drag shows on military bases, but that's a huge departure from days past, because drag shows were embraced by the brass during World War II.
In 1942, the military joined forces with the USO and the American Red Cross to entertain our troops -- both at home and abroad -- with drag shows. Not only that, the soldiers were the ones in drag.
The Army Special Services published a handbook on how to produce these shows. The handbook referred to the productions as"Girly Shows," and even gave tips on how to make the GIs look good for the highly choreographed"Pony Ballet." The Pony Ballet was described as GIs wearing tutus along with army boots.
