Jeff LPH 3 sends in this story from the Army Times.<\/p>\n

Two deployed Michigan Army National Guard soldiers who in September posted an obscenity-laced TikTok video of themselves, armed and in uniform, chiding \u201cliberals and Democrats\u201d for being “crybabies and snowflakes\u201d now face disciplinary action following an investigation.<\/p>\n

The two soldiers are assigned to Company A, 3rd Battalion, 126th Infantry Regiment, which is deployed under U.S. Army Central Command, according to Air Force Capt. Andrew Layton, a Michigan National Guard spokesman. Neither the Michigan Guard nor U.S. Army Central would share the names of the soldiers, whose nametapes are not visible in the video.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the video posted to TikTok by two U.S. Army Soldiers on Sept. 15, 2020 in the CENTCOM” region, said U.S. Army Central spokesman Col. Armando Hernandez in an email to Military Times. \u201cThe video was removed from TikTok, the incident was investigated, and appropriate action is being taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Michigan Army National Guard said it is taking disciplinary action against the two soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnit leadership is aware of this video and disciplinary action is presently being taken,\u201d said Layton in a statement to Military Times. \u201cRegardless of the video\u2019s origin, the reprehensible comments made in the video are unacceptable and inconsistent with professional military values.\u201d<\/p>\n

Layton declined to say exactly what rules the soldiers broke or what punishment they received.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Watch the video for yourself. Not seeing what all is too offensive in this. As far as deployed infantrymen, this is exceedingly tame.<\/p>\n

It’s obviously bad form to post this on the Internet and probably does cross the line into political statements in uniform. I bet these guys got hung up on the security issues around making TikTok videos more than the content of their video. I expect this kind of stuff from the E4 Mafia, but the SSG here should have known better.<\/p>\n

That some crybabies and snowflakes complained about it does kind of prove the guys’ point.<\/p>\n
