However, I think the submitter of this suggestion has made some very valid points. I agree that since JROTC isn't a requirement, students are free to "just say no" and not participate. However, for some students JROTC may actually offer some benefits to a number of young people. I, and others like me, may be too quick to jump on the anti-military bandwagon and not consider the overall picture. I would need more information and background on the subject, but my reaction to the suggestion is that it is a good one. Perhaps JROTC should be brought back to give students an option that we are now denying them.<ul><li><label>Overall Rating</label>: 10</li> </ul> I’ve never been a fan of the ROTC and have indeed been against the idea of military on campus.
