They needed someone to convince kids to do something stupid
The choice was obvious
“They needed someone to convince kids to do something stupid”
If you’re referring to stupid as not making the best decision for each individual by using coercion instead of facts, you are correct. Johnson was never in the military but has been very supportive of them after he became known in the entertainment business. But trying to pass off his tough guy appearance and act for his business is not being up front with the youth recruits. And he should know better than to allow the feds to do this to him by misrepresenting who he is. They did the same thing with John Wayne, and that was during a war.
