Are teens ready for JROTC?

Young adults in a program similar to JROTC

Colleges have had programs for young people wishing to join the military. The program, called ROTC teaches the kids about the military through a tough program involving hard work and life lessons.The program later made it's way to high schools with a different name: JROTC. A program like ROTC for high school students has proved problematic and a very hot topic for debates. It is hard sometimes to choose a side because both sides are equally understandable. On one side, people think that high school students are capable of choosing a sensible choice, and will not get fooled by enlisting schemes. One the other hand, People think that JROTC is a cheap way to recruit a large amount of eager, oblivious students. These two arguments are proved legitimate claims. Personally, I think that JROTC should not exist, nor any program similar. It should not be in high school because young people are easily persuaded by free stuff and fun games. It is a bad idea to let unsuspecting kids think that the military is all fun and games. I think it is fine for those who want to be in the military to be in a JROTC class, but my understanding is that many people join to be with friends and have fun. That they have no idea what the military is really like, so they base their knowledge off the class experience. That is just my opinion. I may be wrong.
