The Army reportedly spent millions getting Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and his United Football League to drive up recruitment, only to end up losing enlistments.
The failed deal comes after the Army National Guard blew $88 million on a deal with NASCAR, that also yielded 20 recruits, according to USA Today.
I can’t help but feel 88 million could possibly be used for other personnel retention efforts, which might help the fact that every veteran, positive or negative about the US, will tell you the same goddamn thing - don’t join, because the military doesn’t give a fuck about your wellbeing.
If they spend that $88 million on actually providing the benefits they promised it would have been not wasteful in the first place but also would have gotten more recruits.
