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

TikTok isn’t a threat just the useless idiots like these supposed military POS using it.
The military needs a good enema and start over. Obama and Biden have ruined it.
I have an idea! Let’s offer free Transgender Surgeries to all of these complaining soldiers. That’ll improve morale!!
I remember that pic from a spread in Life magazine - Charlie Company ?
Which brings up the question? How do/ will they perform against a modern Army like China or Russia?
The answer is unknown, but all evidence points to a huge US military defeat in the near future. Being ex 82nd in the 70’s, and being involved with Vets since then, I can say I never would have thought the military could have evolved into such a sorry state…..for many reasons…I can “ pinpoint “ the decline- when politicians allowed females into the combat arms branches, the Feminization of the military…..and when bayonet training was dropped-it signaled the “ End”.
That said, our “ best” , SF, Delta Force, SEALS, Marine Recon, etc. appears to be able to do the job when called upon….but there simply is not enough of them .
*chuckle*
I read the article. Lots of pictures. Black women, one black man, and a couple of maybe hispanic men with a lot of subcutaneous fat.
Jus’ sayin’ ...
Yes, when I joined in the late 80s, I thought the pay was good for a know nothing, government educated, HS graduate. If you chose (what was it called?) world wide/ no preference, you could get a free European tour from a crappy travel agent. I went and saw places I’d never have been able to otherwise. Still earning off my military schooling.
Exactly, I’m fed up with spoiled brats who lack discipline beyond being grounded or losing a privilege and who have never been spanked in their lives at all!
That became inevitable when females were permitted to vote and hold office.
Repeal 19.
Can you feel a draft?

Don’t wanna sleep in a hole? Work on aircraft. They tend to keep them in safe places. And the food was pretty good.
We have all of these unskilled illegals who they allowed to flow into this country, offer them citizenship if they serve for 5 yrs or whatever. If they refuse send them back. Don’t give them any more welfare either. Out of that 10 million I’m sure there’s enough to fill the ranks. Maybe that was part of the elites plan to allow so many in, they knew a draft wouldn’t go over very well and they’re gonna need a bunch of people for WW3.
Aw. Da po wittle Zeros. Da military is hard.

Sure… and it’s not without precedent. The Romans filled their Legions with barbarians. What could possibly go wrong,
Indeed it’s the military not a day at the spa.

Jeez, how else would you expect him to maintain situational awareness! /sarc
I was lucky, women were not allowed in our units, ADA Chaparral/Vulcan.
