- The US will waste money regardless. I would 200% support wasting that money on The Rock convincing recruits to become Maoists and grifters taking 50 years to build a mile of HSR in California if it means the military suffers even if just a bit.
  
  if it means the military suffers even if just a bit
  Arrested Development narrator: it won't
Critical support for The Rock in his one man quest to deprive the army of men and money.
i'm not saying it was worth it but if it got nearly 40 people to delist from the army, who are we to criticize them...
- critical support for Rock making atrocious propaganda for the military
- ya let's take money from the other stuff and put it towards more of this
  for the amount of money they have they could probably dissolve themselves entirely and get started on some other organizations
  this'll work linearly right?
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?!
(it's a shitty deal with the army that actually turns people away)
This may be the worst country in the history of the world but at least it's funny
Rocks not Bombs
The US military is already heavily embedded in the NFL. Why the hell is it trying to court a franchise that no one cares about lol
- They've been failing to meet their recruiting targets for years now. They're desperate
  
  Flashback to when the army first streamed Call of Duty on Twitch and their entire chat was asking how it feels to be murderers. The youth ain't falling for it.
Dwayne based?
Everyone wants to talk about The Rock but never The Roll
small correction: the article I think you’re referencing in the title ( https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/07/30/armys-troubled-11-million-marketing-deal-rock-and-ufl-seemingly-didnt-yield-single-recruit.html) says that it resulted in a projected loss of 38 enlistments, rather than resulted in 38 recruits de-listing.
- ah good catch, fixed
