Mia Khalifa just dropped a viral, no-holds-barred video that’s blowing up online, and yeah, it’s messy. She went straight at U.S. troops deployed overseas, claiming the U.S. government doesn’t give a damn about them once they’re sent off to fight foreign wars.
The 31-year-old former adult film star posted the rant on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and didn’t sugarcoat a thing. She even said she hopes American servicemen come back with “their little brain in a scramble” for choosing to take part in overseas military operations. Harsh? Absolutely. That’s why it’s trending.
She kicked things off with a sarcastic, “Good morning to everyone, not in the U.S. military,” then went all in. The whole clip felt like a mix of anger, sarcasm, and frustration aimed at military deployment policies, government accountability, and how soldiers are treated after the headlines fade.
Love her or hate her, the video sparked a bigger convo about veterans benefits, mental health support for soldiers, and whether the government actually backs the people it sends into war zones. Same old debate, just louder this time.
Mia Khalifa shared a controversial video mocking U.S. soldiers serving abroad and questioning the government’s care for them
“Good morning to everyone sitting comfy at home and not on land that isn’t even theirs, fighting a war for a country that doesn’t really care,” the outspoken influencer said, setting the tone right away.
She didn’t stop there. While mocking U.S. military members deployed overseas, she said she hopes they come back to American soil dealing with PTSD, so shaken up they can’t even walk past a falafel stand in Manhattan without feeling “sad.” Yeah… that line alone sent the internet into meltdown mode.
“I hope you go over there, get your little brain all scrambled up with PTSD, and then come back and see how much the United States actually cares about you, Pookie!” she added.
The rant instantly sparked debate around mental health for veterans, government responsibility, military benefits, and how soldiers are treated once they’re no longer useful for headlines or politics. Some people saw it as cruel and reckless. Others said it highlighted a real issue about how the system chews people up and moves on.
Either way, it hit a nerve. And in today’s world of viral outrage, cancel culture, and nonstop political takes, that’s all it really takes to dominate the conversation.
Opening with a scathing “Good morning to everyone who is not in the U.S. military,” the former adult film star criticized service members for fighting wars for a country she claimed doesn’t value them
“Yeah, let’s see how much they care about you when you come back,” she added, doubling down. “‘Oh I’m so sad, I pee my pants every time I see a falafel stand in Manhattan.’” Dark, sarcastic, and meant to sting.
The provocative OnlyFans creator went on to slam the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, saying the system flat-out ignores veterans once they’re back home and no longer useful.
“Let’s really see how much the VA cares about you,” she said. “Let’s see what they tell you to do with your little broken brain after going overseas to fight a war that isn’t even yours.”
According to her, the response is predictable. “They’ll just tell you to try breathing exercises,” she said, claiming the **U.S. government doesn’t give a f— about you once you’re no longer able to die for them.”
Her final point hit harder than the jokes. Once soldiers are back, traumatized, burned out, and dealing with PTSD, she says they’re treated like leftovers. “Once you’re done. Once you’re just a shell. They don’t care about you.”
It’s an ugly take, sure. But it reopened the same uncomfortable conversation about veterans healthcare, mental health support, VA benefits, and whether the system actually supports people after military service ends. And honestly, that debate never really goes away.
She expressed hope that soldiers return home with PTSD, making dark jokes about their experiences, including the impact on their daily lives
Mia said this week on The New York Times Podcasts that yeah, she’s fully in rebrand mode right now. And not the fake PR kind. More like a real, messy, personal reset.
She first blew up back in 2014 after entering the adult film industry, quickly becoming one of the most searched and talked-about performers online. Her name was everywhere. But the fame turned dark fast after a highly controversial scene where she wore a hijab. That moment made her instantly infamous and brought serious backlash, including death threats from extremists. Not exactly the kind of viral attention anyone wants.
Looking back, Mia said she became “infamous by accident.” She didn’t plan the outrage, the headlines, or the lifelong label that followed her. That era of adult entertainment put her on the map, but it also boxed her in.
Now? Different story. On the podcast, she described her current brand as a “contradiction,” but also an evolution. These days, she’s loud about political opinions, social issues, and anything she feels strongly about, especially on social media. Love it or hate it, she’s not staying quiet.
“Where I am now, mentally and emotionally, on every level, is a complete 180 from who I was,” she said.
And honestly, that tracks. People change. Careers shift. Internet fame doesn’t come with a manual. Her journey taps into bigger conversations around personal branding, online reputation management, cancel culture, and what it really means to outgrow the version of yourself the internet refuses to forget.
