They Are Coming Back

Military presence in the role of ROTC was banned from many college campuses in the 60's. Now as part of the military's ongoing effort to produce more soldiers a return to campus may be in the air. Return of ROTC may not be so much aimed at producing new officers as to integrate military affairs into ordinary life and so recruit enlisted persons.

As one who spent time in the U.S. military I can attest to both the benefits and the downsides. Today I remain staunchly opposed to continued expansion of our military as the forces are being put to the wrong usages. Our military as a peacetime protective force could be much smaller and less expensive than the current armies of occupation.

Peace.
