JROTC, More Milk Club Fiasco ...
by , 2007-12-13
Dear Editor:
In response to Marc Norton’s latest anti-military diatribe “School Board Cowers Behind Phone JROTC Task Force” I find it hypocritical that far-left professional America haters like Mr. Norton who love to call themselves pro-choice on other issues don’t apply that concept to a voluntary JROTC program.
It would be one thing if the JROTC program was mandatory but its not. The JROTC program is a voluntary program for those students who wish to participate. But so-called pro-choice lefties like Mr. Norton apparently have a double standard when it comes to what choices people should be allowed to make.
I also would like to ask Mr. Norton if after the next big earthquake he would like the military to help with relief efforts in San Francisco after the disaster. Since it was the U.S. military that was the only arm of government that competently provided relief and rescue after Hurricane Katrina and did the same with the recent typhoon disaster in Bangladesh I wonder if Mr. Norton’s anti-military animosity would extend to opposing post-earthquake relief efforts. If not, then his hypocrisy runs deeper then I thought.

Dear Editor,
I wish some members of the Milk Club had not chosen to boycott the December 11th endorsement meeting. Had all eligible members voted, we would have seen a truer representation of the ongoing participating members. Who knows, maybe it would have come out as "no endorsement," which certainly would have been a more accurate representation of the overall divisiveness of the club at this time.
Sincerely,
Terrrie Frye
