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.”

Sounds like something Schumer and McConnell would do to expensively limit the damage they themselves have done with their Tranny-Troops rules in the military these days.
Like we give fig what “The Crock” does
I don't think the Rock is going to be able to help with the recruiting.
They need somebody who's bona fide.
Someone like Chuck Norris.
Pretty much every male in my family has served in the US military and we’ve served in every war America has ever fought, the Revolution to GWOT. I’d NEVER let my kids serve today.
America’s front line combat units are suffering from a lack of “diversity”.
Women, gays, trannies, LGBT, racial minorities of all sorts need to step up.
Volunteer for the Globohomo American Empire (the GAE) and die overseas for their imperialist agenda !
Maybe they can offer free cases of Bud Light to help with recruitment.
He is doing a good thing here and deserves credit for it.
I’m certain his incalculable military experience will be influential to others.
“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.

“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! “
Takes away the need for gas chambers. But heresy a little fact the Left isn’t catching onto…Achilles shrugged. Just like when Agamemnon took Briseis from Achilles. He lost his will to fight. The “Progressives” have so corrupted our country there’s not much desire to be cannon fodder for their war machine. . They don’t have our military’s back as demonstrated in Afghanistan.
We’ll pick our own hill to die on.
Poster child of narcissism.
The drove all the normies out of the military to make room for the trannies during peacetime, now that they want people to fight and die they want them to come back.
Good luck with that.
Congress must have a conference with T. Swift on Fed monetary policy and Lady Gaga on Medicare co-payments with HMOs as well, they are even more popular than Dwayne.
WUT????
The man is an screen and wrestling ring actor.
An actor.
An actor. Are they admitting they can't get anyone who served in the military to help with recruitment?
“I’d NEVER let my kids serve today.”
Bump
The Jab has crippled our military more than anyone will admit to.
Nobody has faith in the civilian and military leadership today.
Our enemies intend to put the US down.
It would be nice if the military could find some celebrity that actually served in the military to help with recruiting.
It was Madelyn Albright, Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, who let the cat out of the bag...
(paraphrasing) " It's not fair that the United States should be the lone superpower in the world.."
And it was her boss that started the process of bringing America down, beginning with his sale of rocket tech to China.
No question it was an inflection point. But it has been creeping a long time. The pattern now is climbing rapidly.
