US troops may be casually revealing sensitive information at nightclubs about their impending deployments to the Middle East. A San Diego-based stripper shared what she had been noticing at bars near military bases.
In a video posted on Instagram, Charm Daze spoke about a recent surge of young servicemen visiting these venues.
“Something I’ve noticed lately is that all the military guys are coming in, and they’re spending all of their money. 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 said.
She further described how these interactions have affected her personally: “A lot of them are really kind, and to see these, like, young guys coming in and then dancing with them. To see these young guys and then being like, ‘bye,’ it’s actually making me emotional.”
She also referred to them as “baby-faced” and “fetuses.”
Daze captioned her video, “An observation from working in the clubs right now.”
According to The New York Post, Daze performs at clubs across the country but is based in San Diego, known for its strong military presence. The region hosts major US Navy and Marine Corps bases such as Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Coronado and Camp Pendleton.
Her video drew responses from people, including Marine officer and influencer Kagan Dunlap.
“PSA: Don’t tell your adult entertainer you’re deploying. 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,” he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
