    The delistings might not have anything to do with The Rock, but rather geopolitics and the US involvement in sketchy conflicts.

      You’re suggesting ONLY 38 people total delisted during the total length of the promotion? Those are incredibly low numbers.

          The US military HAS a method of distinguishing “delisting for reason A” from “delisting for reason B”, but they’re all coming up as false positives for The Rock’s endorsement? That seems a touch unlikely.

    Tbf, when was the last time you’ve seen a decent military-related ad? Not just enlisting, but even stuff like working for weapons factories and such. And not just in USA either, if you’ve seen recent Russian ads for enlisting

      “Poor as shit? Risk your life and we’ll give you a degree. Also honor and shit.”

      We had recruiters in our grade school lunch room saying ^ that. I regret not organizing to get them banned.

        Lovely! Well it seems Russian government decided to ape that, because their ads are all “Time for important decisions!” and just below that - “Get a million upfront”.

        Like so:

        So yeah. Military ads are cringe as hell
