ABSTRACT
The primary objective of Junior Reserve Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is to serve as a vehicle of military recruitment. There have been some attempts to deny this and portray JROTC as a viable contribution to educational reform. However, the events of September 11 have created a climate that glorifies and provides legitimacy and a necessity for the objective of recruitment. The resurgence of Reagan’s objective to destroy the evil empire, including the remnants of socialism in North Korea and Cuba; in addition to George W.Bush’s offensive against significant portions of the Arab world, including Libya, Iran, and Iraq, will necessitate simultaneously opening multiple military fronts around the world.
