Khaberni - A stripper revealed on social media that young American soldiers apparently leak their military deployment news to her while spending their money at adult entertainment clubs.
The San Diego-based stripper, "Charm Daze" — who has 900,000 online followers — shared an emotional video, describing a wave of "depressed" soldiers coming from nearby military bases, complaining about their upcoming deployment next week.
Daze said, "I've noticed recently that all the soldiers come and spend all their money. They are kind of depressed... they say, 'Well, we're going to have fun,' but you can tell something is not right. Then they say, 'We'll be deployed next week'."
Daze performs in clubs across the country, but her Facebook page indicates that she is based in San Diego, home to the largest naval base on the West Coast. As usual in military cities, there are plenty of adult entertainment clubs.
Key units of the U.S. Navy — including the "Navy SEALs" — in addition to a marine reconnaissance group (Marines) are stationed at "Naval Base San Diego," "Naval Base Coronado," and "Camp Pendleton" in that area.
The stripper described the men as strikingly young — so much so that she referred to them as "embryos." She mentioned that many of these soldiers are polite and quiet, which made the experience particularly emotionally impactful on her.
She added, "A lot of them are really nice, and seeing these young men... they come and then I dance with them, and then I bid them farewell, it really makes me emotional." She admitted that these encounters have begun to negatively affect her, saying, "It's awful."
Her video quickly spread online, where viewers engaged with this realistic glimpse of what some believe to be the human side of soldiers preparing to deploy amid escalating tensions with Iran.
However, others saw a significant issue, as these soldiers were apparently jeopardizing the security of operations in their attempt to gain sympathy through their private dances.
Marine officer and influencer "Kagan Dunlop" posted on the "X" platform: "Public service alert: Do not tell strippers in adult clubs that you are going to be deployed militarily."
He added: "You need to remind your buddies: Do not talk to your barber about your deployment schedule. Do not talk to the strippers about your deployment or your departure time, or what you do or the dates, times, and locations. Because they do not understand the consequences, and they end up posting a video on TikTok about it."
The Pentagon has mobilized thousands of soldiers — many from the 82nd Airborne Division based in North Carolina — for deployment to assist in the ongoing war with Iran. The U.S. Central Command announced on Saturday that about 3,500 sailors and Marines aboard the "USS Tripoli" had arrived in the Middle East over the weekend.
