...if the vast majority of their users are above 18 then you have your stats on children, they're a small minority. You're literally claiming that the military advertising themselves on any platform that a single child might use is "grooming".

Their site says that 55% are in the age range of 18 - 35. Even if that is the case that leaves a huge chunk of their audience being 13 - 17, which is a much smaller age range. And JROTC is quite literally grooming.

JROTC is voluntary. Majority of the students enrolled into JROTC just want to get out of P.E. and don't care about what the course has to offer outside of field trips or watching movies in class lol.

You'll only have a handful of JROTC students who actually join the military after high school. In my year only 3 of us (myself included) ended up enlisting/comissioning.

It was the fake prizes that got them in trouble, army recruits and makes ads on the internet all the time

high school programs like JROTC?

JROTC is a fully voluntary program and if you join it you were likely already considering a military career anyway.

Again, JROTC opens up for 13 year olds and some schools provide additional benefits such as food benefits etc as an incentive. Voluntary at 13 isn't the same thing as voluntary at 18.

Nope, nothing there about the definition changing just because of age or you personally not liking the thing.

To AOC:

Toe party lines, America doesn't want a DSA future.

The military has the right to recruit on Twitch, if you don't want to join then don't.

But feel free to sign up for the totally legit raffle.

You know what would solve this? If you just made everyone enlist for a short time like they do in South Korea.

Well minus those of us whove graduated by now of course >.>
