Dwayne Johnson meets with US Senators to discuss military recruitment
NBC New York ^ | 11 15 2023 | Eric Mullin

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson met with several U.S. Senators in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to discuss his efforts to help with military recruitment.

The meeting featured Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jon Tester (D-MT), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Susan Collins (R-ME), Todd Young (R-IN), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL). Johnson's business partner, XFL CEO Dany Garcia, was also present.

Tester, who arranged the sit-down, according to NBC News, said Johnson is "going to advocate for people to join the military over a period of time."

“He’s got an incredible following, maybe the biggest," Tester added.

“I'm really pleased that he's helping with military recruitment,” Sen. Collins said. “I think he is a powerful influencer."

Collins also admitted that she "got as many pictures with him as I possibly could.”

While, in an uncorrupt America, I would appreciate the draft. It isn’t 1950’s any more and our political class has become oligarchs.

This is the left pretending they care about military recruitment when the destruction of our powerful military has always been a dream of theirs.

They needed someone to convince kids to do something stupid

The choice was obvious

So very true.

Note that a draft would only apply to the 28% who could pass the entrance requirements ... the same 28% that is refusing to enlist. But they have sweetened the pot ... they are not requiring the COVID shot for new enlistees but they have not discovered an Unshot for those previously mandated the shot.

When Gable, Stewart and Reagan went recruiting they were in the Army.

Good luck Dwayne.

Good luck JCS.

Gotta send as many young, straight, white males to their deaths as possible, and if they won’t do it voluntarily we will force them to because we is patriotic!

RATs don’t want to be the ones pushing the draft. Of course a few neocon RINOs are always ready to help out the RATs.

Oh looky. The dancing monkey has an opinion.

I wonder how he would do on a PBR on a river on a pitch black night? It’s not the same as the movies, Dewayne.

Absolutely. I fully trust the political class to do just that, because they have bought into the Kalergi plan.
