Since their viral off-the-cuff hot tub TikTok, the Island Boys have stayed in the internet\u2019s spotlight. Or more accurately, they\u2019ve been in its crosshairs. What started as a potential music career quickly devolved into constant feuds with other e-celebs. The brothers have gone from being booed off stage at their first show to starting beef with both Paul brothers. Even massive stars like Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart have roasted the two \u201cgoofballs.\u201d Now, members of the U.S. Military are taking a stab at the brothers thanks to a new recruitment video. The video was purchased on Cameo and posted on TikTok via texasrecruiter. Island Boys roasted for Army recruitment video The video was posted to TikTok on January 21 and has only garnered 45.9k views. However, the video wasn\u2019t posted to either of the Island Boys\u2019 accounts. It was a Cameo purchased by an Army recruiter and TikToker texasrecruiter. The post was then shared on the r\/army subreddit where both the brothers and the recruiter were roasted. Some comments made fun of the Island Boys\u2019 claims such as \u201cpaid vacation.\u201d One comment stated, \u201cThe worst vacation I ever went on. There wasn\u2019t even any good creole.\u201d Various comments jabbed at texasrecruiter for spending money on the Cameo. They read, \u201cAre we really hurting to fill [military positions] that bad?\u201d or \u201cUnbelievable. Didn\u2019t think things were this rough.\u201d According to Cameo, their personal video requests cost around $180. Despite it being posted on texasrecruiter\u2019s TikTok, a representative for US Army Recruitment Command stated that the video was not sanctioned by the Army. This isn\u2019t the first time the U.S. Military has made headlines for attempting to reach a younger audience online. In 2020, the U.S. Army Esports team was reportedly recruiting underage viewers on Twitch by holding fake giveaways.
