      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.

    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...

      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?

    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.

    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.
