There should be cadets in every American school!

The ROTC program. They give scholarships. I think you have to take something they want, art history isn't going to cut it.

ROTC does, JROTC does not and OPs pics were clearly JROTC.

True. 10characters

I actually really like this idea. I feel it will: help with the troubled/violent schools, build community, build pride in our country and show the youth that discipline is something worthwhile.

No, in some states it is actually considered "recruiting," and it is illegal to recruit (in some states) on a school campus.

Interesting, id like to know what states its banned in.

[breadisfunny]

is this secretly a plan to drive up recruitment for the spectres commander shepard?

[PosPosPos]

not sure if the racial aspect is conscious, but there's plenty of black people in favor of trump

If by "plenty" you mean a tiny minority, sure.

Only 6% of black voters are in favor of Trump.

[Hotmail]

I hear Trump supporters who are young kids pick on the immigrant kids.

I believe cadets should be put in every school to protect children from children and teenaged Trump supporters and to promote unity!

The one on the right has an assault weapon. That is quite a bit of added security.

Yes and no.

Yes. I feel every citezen should serve (or at least be educated) on the military.
No. They should not be used as a police force.

The last thing some JRotc kid needs is to be caught up in some bullshit police type scandal.

Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

[May90]

Shepard....

That Citadel party was pretty long, it seems.

Lol, the JROTC kids at my high school were a bunch of wannabes and idiots. Not a single one of them could protect themselves from any sort of unarmed attack much less an armed one. None of that really matters though, thinking that some kids that go running with some enlisted military person every now and then and wear a knock off military uniform to school in no way prepares them to defend anything, nor should they be expected to.

Those are clearly real weapons, why would they even think of giving a child a fake gun...

[Arewn]

Makes sense, then everyone can pick on the nerdy cadet kids who play army at school.
Since the cadets will get picked on, everyone else will be safe!



I was an air cadet. They aren't valiant protectors. They have no actual authority to even attempt such a thing with in the first place. And teens participating in the various branches of cadets have, in my experience, largely been viewed as military nerds.

It's a great youth program, but that's it.

The ROTC scholarships are great, they cover pretty much everything most of the time and if you are enlisted already and going back to school they pay you on top of it.

8 years in and I still can't run worth a damn.

I can shoot damn well under stress though. Even qualified with someone else's weapon. I was so sad when I barely shot 25. Then my drill pointed out it wasn't my weapon and I got 35/40 next time out.

This has fuck all to do with anything. I just wanted to share how I hate running,

A drill rifle is like the complete opposite of an " assault weapon ".

[Alvito]

JROTC kids were not picked on when I was in school but they wasn't respected either.

Even the band and drama kids picked on the JROTC kids at my high school, on the social and respect hierarchy they were the lowest.

Well, you would be good to guard some place then XD

He looks ready to use it too. Look at all the medals on the guy on the left too, he is young and has already accomplished more than some will in their life. I know some don't like the military, but I feel like these guys have a bright future ahead of them.

I believe California and Mass. are two states that I have banned it although I don't know for certain. The logic behind the ban is that recruiting at school will result in children from poor families using the military as a way out and enlisting. Although, I am not entirely sure why that is a bad thing....

Lol, that second picture.. wearing your belt 5 cm above your navel surely makes you look imposing..
