The US Army is facing a TikTok mutiny as Gen Z recruits are taking to social media to whine about low pay, 'sh***y' food and fitness tests.
The brazen posts - by uniformed troops on US bases - represent an audacious challenge to top brass amid a recruitment crisis. The Army fell short of its target by 25 percent last year.
One of the posts by military influencer Anthony Laster slams Army life for having 'No Privacy, The Pay Sucks, Sh***y Food, Disrespectful Leadership, NO SLEEP!' and has been viewed more than 600,000 times.
Laster, from Chicago, has more than a million followers on TikTok and made the public comments in uniform while on mission in the desert. In another post he claimed he spent his whole day watching TikToks while supposedly fighting the Taliban.
It gives a woeful impression of America's fighting forces to potential recruits, which is likely to cause further animosity toward TikTok from critics

Ha! Just wait until they have to fight enemy troops - that is definitely not fun.
Too many honest opinions coming out on TikTok so the powers that be want to ban it. This is just a continuing part the the censorship they want to enact. They have most other social media under control except for X (twitter) which they are currently looking to bring down with an advertiser boycott.
Last week TikTok under pressure banned the journalist Glen Greenwald and suspended Jimmy Dore. Our elites are working hard to eliminate free speech. As far as Gen Z is concerned, they are unlikely to join the military anyway regardless of TikTok videos.
“Like the chAir Force?”

It's the ability to record everything and have it go viral that's destroying the military ... and dating, marriages, businesses, schools, policing, everything.
You can't have private conversations with anyone. Every interaction has the entire world listening in, then judging with Likes, Not Likes, and Comments.
The CCP State Security in charge of propaganda is rubbing their hands together in glee.
BTW - an E1/zero years in *starts+ at 1917.60/month. That’s $11.89/hr for a 160 hr month + room and Chow.
I’ve eaten at DFACs - not all that bad.
Volunteer Army is now the Whiner Army...
Like Harry and Meghan Markle, this private seems not to understand the concept of privacy.
This is the same generation some think are gonna fight CW2 for no pay and whatever food they can scrounge.
Diversity is our strength I thought. How can this be???
Let’s see how this new Tranny army and army of chicks with 2 moms, and army of furries does in combat.
I’m looking forward to seeing their performance now that they made it clear how much they hate White people and the White boys are sitting it out.
I think the cancer here is not Tik Tok ... it’s the ones using it. The recruiters are out there rooting in the garbage can of humanity to dredge up recruits. They are fighting for some of the same people as the Slow Joe Administration is for judges, cabinet members, etc.
Why no pay?
That ought to do wonders for recruiting from the foreign immigrant candidates to make up for shortfalls.
Quite a number of Freeper have said recently that they have advised their kith and kin to stay away from this mess. (And also learn a trade, rather than go into debt for some "studies" degree). It seems the "messaging" of anti-whiteness and all the gender ideology is coming a cropper. As well it should.
If they have a problem with soldiers making inappropriate TikTok videos that’s a matter for their commanding officers to deal with, it certainly isn’t TikTok’s job to censor these people. Our politicians will scream oh it’s a Chinese company dispensing propaganda as their excuse to enact more social media censorship - don’t be fooled by this ploy.
Some very bad people, far away, are smiling.
Wow I would think being in the military was super easy.
Great food when I was in...USAF, ‘81-85.
This ain’t The Old Corps!
Imagine going into combat with a mob of these REMF pussies behind you!
They are complaining about a soldier’s usual conditions. What is unusual is all the gay stuff that use to get you kicked out.
