There should be mandatory JROTC for every American child!

[JakeWIlls92]

I support putting cadet programs and patriotic classes in all schools! A certain political candidate is encouraging kids to treat their fellow Americans differently. I think we need a program to encourage unity! I think kids need to think of themselves as Americans not blacks or whites!

I have nothing but respect for the JROTC; however, I don't believe it should be mandatory.

JROTC would be a benefit to younger Americans, I agree. I don't agree with anyone telling an American....in a sense and to a degree - what they will, and will not do.

If a young American want to do JROTC, then fine. If they don't, someone should not be telling them that they have to.

I tip a glass to our Armed Forces - past and present.

That's the Hitler Youth? I thought it was Boy Scouts in the 30s or 40s.

Just a quick correction, people mention MANDATORY early military training. The boy scout movement is neo military, coming from the boer war in Africa.

And that's a reason to bring up Hitler Youth?

Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey.

A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. –

Isabel Paterson, The God of the Machine (1943)


And now you proposed militarized state supremacists, what could go wrong?

Not having been a Boy Scout, I'm not a boy scout tie aficionado. Apparently YOU are.
