Why isn't the ROTC program allowed to be a recruitment center and why do people not like Military recruiters in school? You don't have to talk with the recruiters and you don't have to join ROTC. On top of that, its a PUBLIC GOVERNMENT compound and last time I checked the military was part of the government.

Because schools are full of children who are we are trying to educate.

The program can "educate" you about the military before you enlist or apply for an ROTC scholarship.

Not according to my wife. She went into the Navy and then went to school and did ROTC. She assures me that ROTC is almost entirely silliness. She says bull**** not silliness.

It seems there are more reports of people entering the military who are hostile to it, it's mission and/or the USA.

Why would that be?

Agreed. The ROTC kids in my school seem to spend most of their time learning how to march, as well as military procedure, rather than combat training and weapons knowledge. They're all fairly vacant or out-of-shape looking, and other than a girl I know from my sister's karate studio, I could almost certainly destroy them in a fight. The girl is, however, about 4'8 and has an eye condition, so despite her black belt I'm not sure how she'd fare.

ROTC and JR ROTC are admirable programs, people just don't believe in choice, that's the problem. They believe in forcing everyone, and everyones children to thin, behave and act as they see fit.

It's tragic really.

I think the mood toward all military recruiters is negative right now. Something about not wanting to die or whatever.

new coup for you

most schools don't allow organizations which openly operate with prejudice operate on their school grounds. Often it's written into their charters. That's what conservatives don't understand, many schools, by their own by-laws, are forbidden for allowing discriminatory institutions use their facilities.
