US military recruitment is so bad they spent ~$10M advertising with the Rock's football league, only to lose recruits AND viewers for the football league.

The national guard spent ~100M on nascar recruiting, which generated 25K recruits. Only 20 of those were qualified (99.92% unqualified). Of those 20, all declined to join.
