Deshauna Barber, Militarism in Beauty Pageants
Miss District of Columbia, Deshauna Barber, won the Miss USA title after answering a question about the Pentagon opening combat jobs to women. Barber, an active-duty Army officer, emphasized that "gender does not limit us" in the military. The hosts suggest the pageant had a "hidden agenda" to promote militarism and recruitment, noting the high-tension music that played during her final segment.
