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\u00a0fighting the Taliban.\u00a0<\/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. Politicians from both sides have concerns about the platform&#8217;s links with China and accuse it of pushing subversive anti-US propaganda. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude11 #military #usa #army #marines #airforce #navy #rnb #dontdoit #deployment #fyp\u30b7 #uniform #sad #world #lost #soldier #free #life #enlist<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/14\/20\/78879369-12855869-Anthony_Laster_pictured_slams_Army_life_for_having_No_Privacy_Th-a-11_1702584695170.jpg\" height=\"791\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Anthony Laster (pictured) slams Army life for having &#8216;No Privacy, The Pay Sucks, Sh***y Food, Disrespectful Leadership, NO SLEEP!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/14\/78880767-12855869-Dana_Estrella_pictured_makes_content_to_advise_those_considering-a-139_1702824690787.jpg\" height=\"738\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dana Estrella (pictured) makes content to advise those considering signing up to think again<\/p>\n<p>The Army expects to end up about 15,000 short of its target of 65,000 recruits for 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Navy expects to fall short by 10,000 personnel and the Air Force is projected to miss its goal by 10 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional allure of military recruitment is failing to register with Gen Z.<\/p>\n<p>Last year only 9 percent of young people ages 16-21 said they would consider military service, according to Pentagon data, sliding 13 percent from before the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The military has faced criticism for using &#8216;woke&#8217;
