Teens get into fight in middle school, while faculty members hope to sit back and diffuse the situation verbally.

So because you think they aren't "cool" that makes them pussies? JROTC isn't meant to be cool.. It's meant to build you into a successful, skilled young adult come graduation. It did that for me. And you may not believe me but the majority of my school respected what we did and the choice we made to participate in the program. No other team in the school of 3500+ students ever won any kind of national championship except the JROTC drill team that I commanded. My honor guard was invited to the white house by President Bush to perform our ceremony for him and his staff. In the 4 years that I participated I watched 35 of my upperclassmen from JROTC enlist in the military and build immensely successful careers there. 3 of my friends from my senior year have been killed overseas... They were serving because of the people they met in JROTC. They enlisted after high school to continue on with the bonds that they had formed with their fellow cadets in this program for "pussies". One of my fellow cadets chose a civilian career.. She used her experience in JROTC to get a job at an international airport right out of high school, paid for her education that way, and is now an air traffic operations supervisor.. She still credits JROTC for being where she is now. And me.. I was the Battalion Command Sergeant Major for 2 years and graduated as such. Went straight to the army. After a few years I found myself transferred to a new unit with a new job. Became an IT guy. Moved to Atlanta and worked for a fortune 500 company. Moved to Alaska and got hired by the FEDS. Started volunteering, ya know, that stuff those JROTC "pussies" do right? Anyway, got my Firefighter certification, HAZMAT cert, EMT-1, etc... I could go on and on.. The point I'm making here is that these "pussies" as you call them are better than you.. I'm sure of that. We had people like you and I still check up on them. They are filth. Absolute filth. And us "pussies" are successful, happy, enjoying life, making new friends every day.. Us "pussies" kind of have it nice.

So fuck off with that "pussies" thing.. You're not helping the problem. Get out there and try to make a difference.. Do something productive. Make change! Just do one single kind thing that doesn't benefit you. Give a man a sandwich.
