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

Brazen posts represent audacious challenge to top brass amid recruitment crisis

One of the posts by military influencer Anthony Laster slams Army life

Says he spent whole day watching TikToks while supposedly fighting the Taliban

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.

New recruits whine. More breaking news at 11.

That’s not the issue. It’s social media being so engrained now and everyone has to update the world on their day to day lives.

One has to wonder what they expected from life in the military.

You're a brand new FNG. Suck it up.

Anyone that thinks the military should be easy is delirious. Things don't get better until you're an E-4.

What kind of pussy shite is this? I was in the ARMY. I signed up knowing there would be shitty pay, shitty food and no sleep. The first thing that happened to me at Basic was I got punched by a drill sgt. I expected it. I didn't go whine to the xo about how my DS is being mean to me. I sucked it the frick up and was a man about it. Now we have "timeout cards"???? I mean what the actual frick??? If you train recruits to be pussies guess what you are going to get?? You guessed it.......pussies. They wonder why recruiting is down. Nobody wants to join a man's game full of little whiny bitches. The first rule of Army is DON'T frickING TALK TO THE MEDIA without permission from above you. There shouldn't be a military influencer. Mainly because that's a look at me pussy position. And military isn't about "look at me". It's about working as a fricking team to accomplish the mission. Sometimes a dangerous one. But no they don't want to do that either. What's next? A fricking union>>>??????

These kids are soft. One of the reasons the military isn't for evil because there are standards, uniformity and stress. All of them are important.

You need to stress them physically and mentally during training, so they're prepared for combat.

None of those losers (a good percentage not IAW AR 600-9) are fit to fight. My retired 1SG arse is fired up.

Looking at them all these are what we call shitbags back in the day. Probably can't say that now ,because someone will get sand in their vagina and cry. Oh and if you look closely diversity is clearly not our strength.

Ain't this the truth... Fortunately and unfortunately, it'll fix itself sooner or later. Gonna be some rough times though.

And that's dangerous on so many levels.

I remember there being issues with soldiers deployed overseas and posting runs on Strava that showed their location and routes.

Cut a few of them loose with DDs and that'll be the end of it.

On the other hand, it's on the brass to build morale and esprit de corps...

My son is in Marine boot camp as I type. I would kick him in the chest if he posted some BS like this. I went to Iraq. War sucks and being comfortable won't make you ready for combat. I feel like I am in a never ending episode of the twilight zone.

Well, if this little shitbird doesn't like the accommodations or the food, might I suggest a big chicken dinner?

China will be cruel to the U.S. military. They won’t be prepared to fight barbarism. No safe spaces over there.
