A recent string of revelations about abuses by the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps presents an opportunity to rein in the military’s presence and power in public schools.

This has always been a thing. The allure of unbelievable signing bonuses and the promise of a college education has been around for at least the last 40 years.

JROTC has the added benefit for the military of pre-bootcamp brainwashing. (Much to the dismay of many kids, the military isn't all show drills and uber-patriotism.)

The money and college is real, but it comes with some really beefy strings attached.
