A New York Times report has found that enrollment in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC), a Pentagon-funded program designed to groom children for military service, is increasingly becoming mandatory in US high schools.

The idea of joining the military (air force) has seemed so nice to me throughout some parts of my twenties. I was chronically poor and having a place to pursue free education, a career field, and a built in set of friends and free housing was so appealing. But I was always hung up on the fact that it would be at the expense of others.I dont blame anybody if they use the military to get themselves outof a bad situation or shitty hometown with no opportunities. But I dont know if I can say the same for myself because I full realized the consequences. Also, I have a few friends that have been in the military and are very jaded, it seems that the whole thing would get old after awhile.
