The Army fell short of its target by 25 percent last year.<\/p>\n<p>One of the posts by military influencer Anthony Laster slams Army life for having &#8216;No Privacy, The Pay Sucks, Sh***y Food, Disrespectful Leadership, NO SLEEP!&#8217; and has been viewed more than 600,000 times.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>It gives a woeful impression of America&#8217;s fighting forces to potential recruits, which is likely to cause further animosity toward TikTok from critics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12855869\/army-tiktok-mutiny-gen-z-recruits.html\">Daily Mail<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Complaining in the ranks is a time-honored tradition going back to the history of forever. This is understood and expected- a bitching sailor is a happy sailor.
