Sailor prancing on war ship, embarrassing the Navy

Another weird military TikTok video with a male sailor putting on pink lip gloss dancing on the deck of an aircraft carrier with the caption, “When they call and say jets are inbound and I need to land them.”

There are two people involved in this video: the sailor seen and the sailor filming it. Why are they allowed to film something like this on a war ship?

The video has almost 3 million views on X. It’s embarrassing to the Navy and makes it look silly to the enemy.

Who wants to serve alongside people like this?

Do you think videos like this show strength and confidence in our military? pic.twitter.com/PdusDIQrmm

This is likely why the U.S. Navy won’t meet its recruiting goals this year. https://t.co/C0UvFjNTjN

This one sailor is part of ship-wide commitment to politics and liberal ideology. Capt Slough routinely uses the ship and her official capacity to celebrate “PRIDE” month, with cakes and flags to boot. pic.twitter.com/0JgslRfflq

Capt Slough, and other commanders who politicize their service, should be the story of the military’s embrace of wokeness and DEI. Once in office, President Trump should fire these officers who sacrifice the military profession at the altar of politics and ideology.

I’m a 20 year veteran, and I tell everyone who asks:

Don’t join the military. https://t.co/3LXiNz8Mjp

I can’t for the life of me understand why the Armed Forces are having a recruitment problem. https://t.co/DnIs7sIPTB
