A short spoken monologue (YouTube segment) by Anwar White offering informal, provocative commentary about 'military men'—their recruitment from disadvantaged neighborhoods, perceived lack of autonomy while enlisted, potential PTSD, and claims about closeted homosexuality in the Navy—delivered in a colloquial, comedic/critical tone. The speaker frames these observations as 'the T' (tea) and addresses romantic/partner implications (control, jealousy, loyalty to 'the platoon').

Someone said, what's the T on military men? Okay, the T is. And I might get shit for this, but I don't really care. The T is. You have to understand that most of the time when the military is recruiting for men, they're going into the worst neighborhoods and looking for men that have no possibility.
No path in life. So a lot of these men actually.
Might not be.
Men that had the most opportunity. No judgment, no shade. Just want us to think about that for a second. Number two, you also have to understand that they might not have an individual thought. And what people don't understand when you're dealing with a military man is like, they're being told what to do all day, every day. It's basically a prison. And so when that happens, because men love fun and freedom, when they don't have freedom, they will overcompensate and try to gain back their freedom when they come home and they're with you. So because they literally have been controlled while they've been working in the military, they will come home and try to control you to make themselves feel like a man.
Something for you to think about. So that's one thing. The other thing is a lot of them have ptsd. So when they come home.
All they see are enemies all around. All they see are risks and danger. And if they see you, they're going to think the same thing.
So being with a military man is like being in the war. No shade.
Okay. Very important. The other thing that I will say is a lot of these military men are gay. They're in the DL, especially in the Navy. It is well known that in the Navy, they get it in.
Most all of them.
We call it the Gavi.
They literally, if you see the barracks, they're sleeping on each other. And I've. I've talked to Navy boys, and they say oftentimes.
They'Re hearing this and they're hearing.
They're hearing that.
So, honey, when you hear a military man say, I've got to get back to my platoon, my men need me, he really. He really means that. His man needs him.
Okay?
Trust that.
Honey Sweat, girl. Yeah. The boat is rocking, girl. These men are on a. They're on a honeymoon.
What about the Air Force.
Girl? Same shit, just in the air.
Someone said, I'm so disgusted right now. Why, girl? Why are you disgusted, girl? Honey, they're the ones that are protecting us. I'm like, do whatever you have to do. As long as I have my freedom. Squirrel.
