This was 1995; sexuality was a "new" topic. Identifying as anything other than straight could literally cost you your life. It was 2 years before Ellen would come out publicly on TV because she feared losing her show and 3 years before Matthew Shepard was tortured and dragged to death for being gay.

A lot of boomers believed and probably still believe that being bisexual was the lazy way of not making a choice. The 90s are pretty romanticized now but it was a scary time for a lot of LGBTIA+ folks.

That was pretty much true for the general public. No /s needed.

They are saying that they think recruitment in the US military is down because young people are seeing what Donald Trump (senile Caligula) is doing and don't want to help his administration advance its unlawful cause (commit war crimes).
