I just do not get this. I find no rhyme or reason for this action on the grounds of our schools.

I wonder if ROTC will be phased out, would not shock me.

As for the affluent, I have a feeling is how that word is defined. Frankly, I think every graduating senior should serve in our military for a variety of reason's but that will not happen. Having said that, where are they getting their number's to base this article on?

The left fears that our high school children do not have the maturity to listen to a recruiter and make a proper decision, yet with abortion they support our children's "right" to an unrestricted abortion on demand, without a parent's involvement. Wonder why they are so mature for abortion but so immature for listening to a recruiter?

Tossing one's hands into the air is very french. Rather, I suggest you hunker down for the next stage of the assault.

Danged if I don't think we shouldn't revisit Heinlein's idea that only veterans should be allowed citizenship.

I think some affluent people are real patriotic and others are not.

Maybe military recruiters want to use the files to see who may want to serve?
If you got a 5.0 student on the way to Harvard, they more than likely won't go.
Then if you have a 1.85 student with less chance of a future, the military offers a vocation and some way to get to a point to make it to a college if you wish.
