Loose nips sink ships.
A stripper revealed that on TikTok young US troops are apparently leaking news of their deployments to her while blowing their cash at jiggle joints.
San Diego-based dancer Charm Daze — who has 900K followers online — shared an emotional video late Sunday describing a wave of “depressed” servicemen from nearby military bases lamenting a deployment scheduled for next week.
“Something I’ve noticed lately is all the military guys are coming in and they’re spending all of their money,” Daze said. “They’re kind of depressed … They’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re gonna have fun,’ but you can tell something’s off. And then they’re like, ‘We deploy next week.’”
Daze performs in clubs around the country, but her Facebook page says she is based in San Diego, home to the largest naval base on the West Coast.
As is custom with military towns, there are also plenty of strip joints.
Major units with the US Navy — including the Navy SEALs — as well as a Marine Expeditionary group are stationed at Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Coronado and Camp Pendleton in the region.
The dancer described the men as strikingly young — so young she called them “fetuses.”
Daze said many of the troops are polite and soft-spoken, which only made the experience more emotional for her.
“A lot of them are really kind, and to see these, like, young guys … coming in and then dancing with them, and then being like, ‘bye,’ and then it’s actually, like making me emotional.”
She admitted the encounters have begun to take a toll.
“It’s f—ed up,” she said.
Her video quickly spread online, with viewers reacting to the raw glimpse into what some believe could be the human side of troops bracing for deployment amid rising tensions with Iran.
Others saw a problem — that these soldiers were apparently blowing operational security (OPSEC) in an effort to get a pity party with their lap dance.
“PSA: Don’t tell your adult entertainer you’re deploying,” Marine officer and influencer Kagan Dunlap posted on X.
“You gotta remind your folks: Don’t talk to your barber about when you’re deploying. Don’t talk to your adult entertainer about deploying or when you’re leaving, or what you’re doing or dates and times and locations.
“Because they don’t know any better, they’re gonna post a TikTok video about it.”
The Pentagon has readied thousands of troops — many from the Army’s North Carolina-based 82nd Airborne Division — to deploy to help with the ongoing war with Iran.
About 3,500 sailors and Marines aboard the USS Tripoli arrived in the Middle East over the weekend, US Central Command announced on Saturday.
