US Army faces 'TikTok mutiny' as Gen Z recruits whine about low pay, 'sh***y' food and FITNESS TESTS while on bases in uniform

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

Well said.

I agree, the 19th should never have been passed.

The demographics of the U.S. Army.

By the mid-4th century, barbarian-born men probably accounted for about a quarter of all recruits (and over a third in elite regiments), likely a far higher share than in the 1st and 2nd centuries.

I was reading about the wonderful bonuses the military is coming up with. Jose’ is going to enlist, take the bonus enlistment money and head home across the Rio Grande to party. Adios Gringos!

All this bellyaching won’t matter to the new draftees in a year or two.

The Romans did the same thing with the barbarians. The natives didn't join the army so they had to turn to the barbarians to fill the legions. We all know the end to that story.

Give a speech about Christianity in uniform, you are in trouble. Why different with a chinese medua platform that isn’t giving biden kickbacks as well. Oh, wait.

The answer is unknown, but all evidence points to a huge US military defeat in the near future.

The ability to wage war like we did in Iraq is not there. Our grunts in the army is not the same as the ones we had just 20 years ago

Obama and Biden have converted much of the US military from a Class-A fighting force into a Welfare and Reparations program for democrat victim groups.

Instead of hardass warriors they are staffing the services with WOKEsters, fatties, sexual perverts, cross-dressers, 3d generation welfare babies and other minority unemployables.

This mob of snowflakes, misfits and rejects can’t hack the easy life in peacetime.
Imagine how fast they will fold in a combat situation.

If/When the US has to fight another serious war we will need our Red State and small town Veterans, hunters and other gunowners because the fighting will be right here on our own ground.

I see on that demographic chart a breakdown of the percentage of males and females in the Army but no mention of the Pronoun People or the other genders invented by the democrats.

[Secret Agent Man]

Reminds me of:

Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky (Tiktok)
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same

[MinorityRepublican]

Not just the ratio of males/females. But look at the races.

It used to be mostly white and around 15% Black and they all had to buy in the American way.

As a mixed race person, I'm noticing that the U.S. military is much more diverse. Nothing with that if we get the G.I. Joe (or Jane) to buy in.

But we have no values anymore.

So instead of a melting pot, now we're a salad bar.

That's why you notice that the military families (mostly from the South and the Midwest) are forbidding their children from joining.

And I don’t blame them for forbidding their children from joining.

“NO SAIL PHONES”

Dammit, I just spit my drink out

[MinorityRepublican]

So our military is in a crisis. They’ll have to reach out to the illegals and promise them citizenship if they decide to join the military.

The TikTok generation fills the bill as the first postAmerican generation. They will soon enough forfeit their birthright to freedom, and they will not even have the sense to miss it.

[MinorityRepublican]

I found the more accurate representation of a rough day at military work.

All the guys in that picture went home to their families and told their children not to join the military.

I found the more accurate representation of a rough day at military work.

Not even close.

The last significant battle in Afghanistan was in 2010. Iraq, 2008. The bloodiest fighting in both conflicts happening during the GW Bush administration. Most of the troops involved in this fighting have either left the service already or are getting close to retirement.

The vast majority of today's U.S. military have never faced any hostile action. The most dangerous activity they partake in is commuting to and from work. Off duty motorcycle accidents are the number one killer of U.S. troops today.

This is why they have the luxury to complain about crappy food and staying in shape.
