Why am I Not Surprised?

Lawmakers, Veteran Groups Debate JROTC Program in San Francisco

I especially liked this line,

Hal Muskat, an Army veteran who refused to serve in Vietnam, said he doesn't want his tax dollars going to what he calls "military training" for high school students.

"This is military training, it's that simple," said Muskat, now a member of Veterans for Peace. "This is about softening up very impressionable, open-minded, young teenagers to the cult of militarism. Military skills have no place in public schools."

Maybe he shouldn't have to pay for our military, period. The fact of the matter is, the JROTC program does amazing things with kids of ALL financial backgrounds. This is ridiculous.
