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

Oh yeah, I imagine one has to be absolutely desperate to sign up for the army right now.

It is hitting +50C in the summer across the Arab World. Anyone dumb enough to enlist will die of heat before being killed by the resistance.

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

No. I'm just going by what the report says and offering a possible reason.

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.
