  1. Someone who wasn’t in the military telling me to go into the military is a big red flag anyway. No thanks, Maui.

  3. I’m shocked that our Pentagon would frivolously spend $11,000,000.00! (Sarcasm)

  4. Reading the actual article shows that The Rock has not met his contractual obligations regarding his social media posts. So if he is not going to due his required posts he should pay them back

  8. But we don’t have the money to [insert your favorite social program here]

  9. Oh please like anyone would willingly going the imperialist invasion force.

  10. “dont be like me, join the marines. there, wheres my 5 million?”

  11. Read this is as THE WRESTLER Pentagon demands Rock return 5 m and was like damn, what a call out, this dude really has zero miedo.

  12. The government does this with every single contract they make

  13. Meanwhile, the army Corps of Engineers recreation budget is being hacked and slashed to death. We are losing parks that could be funded with a quarter of this.

  14. Weird that the government wants money back from a celebrity for not meeting expectations but Boeing gets 200x this a year with no oversight. Just wish the government would follow up on all contracts this thoroughly

  15. Dwayne Johnson is just as big a corporate/government shill as John Cena.

    Carnies All the way down. Sick fuckers.

  16. What a stupidly dystopian headline and story. It’s almost hilarious.

  17. Not a fan of these Pentagon recruiting drives, but it does seem like the Rock is seeming slimier every day.

  18. Families of soldiers that died in Iraq want their loved ones back because the war didn’t lead to the discovery of one single chemical or biological weapon.

  22. He’s republican and they love free government handouts.

  24. The kids are hip to the imperialism and are opting out? Who could have predicted this?!

  25. No one’s looking at the rock for military inspiration. They’d probably get better results with Chuck Norris.

  28. Maybe it’s because veterans are treated like garbage. THE PAY IS SHIT. Lose a limb in combat and civilians treat you like a beggar.

  29. Amazing, a million dollars a tweet, but yet they squeezed my nuts hard over returning 249.00 of unemployment over a mistake.

    Fucking joke.

  32. They could’ve spent that money on idk, disabled veterans instead of going to the highest paid actor in the world? Taking caring of vets might actually do more for recruitment than anything.

  35. I didn’t know my taxes were going to this egomaniac

  36. Lmao that title sounds like theOnion. Pentagon has a point tho:

    > The contract required the former WWE star to publish five U.S. Army ads to his Instagram page, according to Military.com. Each post was valued at $1 million, but Johnson – who has 396 million followers on the platform – only published two.

  37. Uuuh how about you give your citizens back a check for it…. that’s our tax money and stupid dumb fucking idiots spending it. In plus nobody wants to join cos it’s a fucking joke. Look how they treat their vets. No help. No money. Fuck off.

  38. Misleading article. The optics on those would be bad, and $5 million is wipe my ass money for the DOD. It would be nowhere near worth collecting on.

  40. Out of spite, I would just post some quick and fast, back to back.
