IPFW restores its ROTC program

The JG has a good piece that talks about the fact that IPFW has re-started its ROTC program:

I am glad that IPFW has revived its ROTC program!

ROTC is a great program and programs like these help young people get an education without going significantly into debt and gives them a good job and work experience.

I would like to see more young people join the military and earn their education!

click on ulc.org. get your ministers credentials. sign your draft card/selective service registration with conscientious objector- pacifist- available for other laternative service- peace corps, missionary work. anything but the US torturing, criminal military industrial complex.
ROTC and the army isnt the boy scouts. Its a tragedy that so many hoosier young men, and women feel that they cant afford a college education without joining the army, to go get blown up by iranian ieds in iraq in a war for our blood for oil.
join the army- money for school.
indiana guard/army reserv- one weekend a month, 2 weekends a year?
what a lie. more like an endless sandy desert hell with no end.
modern "bush-wars" are fought like vietnam- no clear victory.
We won WW@ by relentless strategic, and terroro bombing by the 8th air force, and ended it with nuclear weapons.
There are not enough nations in the world, who appreciate our generousity, and fear our nuclear wrath.
war is stupid. joining any form of the military is stupid. joining while there is a current illegal war for oil is stupider still.
there is nothing heroic in coming home dead in a box, PTSD, TBI, etc- getting your pecker shot off by some miseraqble islamic extremist.
yet sylvester supports a religious extremist, and his extremist followers for Mayor?

We won that war by dropping a dot-com on the Japanese!

I am proud to say that I was an officer and a gentleman by act of Congress.; 30 October, 2007 22:40

I'm sure this guy is also glad. No doubt this one would be too, if he was still alive.

Ah, you big-L Libertarians. If you didn't exist, we'd have to invent you.; 30 October, 2007 22:48

Becoming a cannon fodder when your parents are not wealthy enough, to fillfil your basic right to get educated, is a savage concept of the mercenary army with low moral.

Its so easy tosuddenly become impoverished, you are just one car accident, incapacitated illness or lawsuit away, and your kids will be in this bandwagon as well. I wonder if your opinion changes then?

Reducing ridiculously high cost of monopolized services in USA, such as education (but medical, legal, etc), is better through an efficient legislation, like in most european countries, reducing red tape and direct government subsidies.; 31 October, 2007 09:11
Tim Zank said...: Anon 8:11...I'm not sure I understand, you don't want a military? or..you don't want a voluntary military? or what? Who is or is supposed to protect us?

By the way, I don't recall anyone have a constitional right to a college education either.

As for the European model of government efficiency, surely you are joking?; 31 October, 2007 09:19
