For those who aren’t aware, Thursday, November 16th of 2023, was supposed to be a HUGE night for the United States Marines. The night of the US Marine Corp’s Central Command’s 248th annual ball, a big night for them of heavy drinking, dancing and ‘gay pride,’ as this thread over at Inside Paper on twitter points out, the U.S. Marine Corps Central Command’s 248th Ball is cancelled due to “unforeseen operational commitments and the nature of our current mission.”
