A Cool Elective You Can't Get Out Of

How did this turn into a debate about the philosphy of war and whether or not it's "right"? JROTC is not war, it is an elective and students CAN decide to take it or not. Also, who cares if they are trained to shoot an AIR gun?!? Wrestlers learn how to submit people on school grounds, too. Besides all of that, this is a porrly written article with little to no substance. It's propoganda.

A Cool Elective You Can't Get Out Of

Minorities should embrace JROTC. Afterall, it's this country's great Military that allows the freedom that so many flock here to find. Maybe they should start protesting wrestling next-- since it trains students in the art of grappling and submission.
