Former adult film actor Mia Khalifa has come under fire on social media for mocking American soldiers. In a video on her “Good morning to everyone who is not in the United States military,” she begins the clip. “Good morning to everyone sitting at home on land that isn't theirs, fighting a war for a country that doesn't care about them,” she added.
“I hope you go out there and get your little brain all messed up with PTSD and come back here and see how much the United States cares about you, pookie!” Mrs. Khalifa mocks in a baby voice and adds, “Look how much they care about you when you come back.”
The former movie star then adopts a tone of fake crying and adds, “Oh, I'm so sad, I p*** my pants every time I see a falafel stand in Manhattan.”
“Let's see how much the VA cares about you. Let's see what they tell you to do with your little broken brain because you're going to fight a war that's not yours. They're going to try to tell you to do breathing exercises because the US government doesn't care about you if you can't die for them anymore. Once you're done, once you're a shell, they don't care about you anymore,” she concludes.

Ms. Khalifa shared the video a few days ago. It has since amassed over 1 million views and over 23,000 likes. In the comments section, several users criticized her for mocking U.S. military service members.
“People don't care about what comes out of your mouth,” one user wrote. “Like they're worried about what a former cam girl thinks. They're going to be concerned about how you embarrass yourself in their spare time. It really sucks that you made those choices, you could have been in advocacy or something that would have stopped this war,” another commented.
“Stick to what you know. Leave wartime decisions to adults,” said a third user. “It's fair to have an opinion about every violent conflict in the history of the world. It is sickening and disgusting to wish PTSD on American soldiers,” said another.
Meanwhile, the former adult star came under fire last year for saying the US military is “worse than OnlyFans”. She made the comparison in July 2022 during an appearance on late night talk show Ziwe in the US, and then re-shared the clip on Veterans Day last November.
She was also outspoken on social media, where she defended the Palestinians and joked about the October 7, 2023, attacks. On that day, as the terrorist attacks on Israel were still unfolding, Khalifa wrote: “Can anyone help the freedom fighters in Palestine please tell their phones to turn around and film horizontally?”
Ms. Khalifa's posts sparked a wave of outrage on social media, resulting in her dismissal from both adult magazine Playboy and a business deal with Canadian broadcaster and radio host Todd Shapiro.
