Even if the Pride flag was political (it's not, by the way... you are wrong), it represents those who were politically and societally oppressed by the very governments and society that they served and protected. Arguably, they are far better people than those who seek to unrecognize their service and sacrifice which has allowed this country to remain so great.
It's not virtue signalling, it's calling out blatant bigotry, which ironically is not tolerated in the Service you speak of.
​​​​​​No. You are so wrong you don't know what you don't know. If you ever attend Cranwell you would do well to pin your ears back and learn from those who know better. Political activity is incompatible with military service. It is a political flag, along with BLM, XR and all the other social engineering experiments.

You do a great disservice to veterans by effectively calling Remembrance parades a political march. Stop now before you embarrass yourself further.
