[...] High school students fighting anti-military bigotry in the Bay Area collected 13,600 signatures and submitted them to save the JROTC program in San Francisco. (I blogged about their signature-gathering efforts last month here.) [...]

Only 22 comments….maybe not a popular subject…or perhaps its Sunday?? We need support for this program…the photos included are encouraging. At least some young’uns have their heads screwed on straight.

I know at least several (maybe all?) California National Guard units in the Bay Area had drill this weekend. I’m just getting caught up this morning.

BTW, BO, now being the defacto nominee, came up on quiet conversations among the soldiers. As far as I can tell, noone in uniform is looking forward to him being CiC.

What would military detractors do if all U.S. Service Members put down our arms and went home? I suppose this is the fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals: one chooses to acknowledge the 2nd and 3rd order effects of their views while the others do not. War is not a game. Maybe if more folks considered the consequences of losing a war they would not so greatly trivialize the need for a military.

Good for the Families of JROTC students who gathered signatures this weekend to put a measure on the ballot in November. at least there are a few real people in Fairy Town.
But I do not question the moon bats patriotism, I don’t even question lgm’s. Just who these clowns are patriotic to I do not know, but it is not to this country. And I hope none of these clowns comes back with that silly “Thomas Jefferson said”; no he didn’t. Buenos días lgm.

Sigh…can my family come live with one of you who is outside of California, before the libs ruin the entire state. I mean, so far the central valley where I live is fairly safe, but it’s eroding fast.

Ummm emjem? Hate to point this out to you, but San Francisco liberals don't want their asses defended. In fact most them have open-(back)door policies. So in that regard, they're not inconsistent. Stupid, maybe. But not inconsistent.

ACTION:
We can all go to the High Schools in our neighborhoods and give $$$$$$$$$$$$$
to the JROTC units.

ACTIONS speak LOUDER than words.

I think that San Franciso trying to shut down JROTC is just another example of limiting choices for children. What is wrong with learning what it takes to be in the military, leadership, responsibility? I’m certainly not seeing much of those character traits in our current leaders in Washington or San Franciso.

We’re living in an era where liberal devotees (such as hippies/baby boomers) want to believe that we don’t need a military, that terrorism is just some vacant threat, that big government, Social Welfare programs are the “must have” accessory for our country.

My question to San Francisco liberals is this: who’s going to defend your asses? The police? Without components of the military like the National Guard, you’d be defenseless.

Or do liberals think that Defense means no military?

I’m having a problem following their “peace at all costs” logic.

We must not fail ourselves, our society and our children by allowing the lunatic fringe of our society to prevail in destroying programs such as these. Our loud voices can and will overcome these sick people if we but exercise our vote and pressure the politicos in power with our willpower.

“I don’t like JROTC, so your kid can’t participate. So there.”

I got so much out of JROTC…even my wife! Even if I hadn’t gone in the military, I wouldn’t regret having taken it for 3 years in high school.

There’s an easy fix for this problem if our government had any guts. All we need to do is give each city a choice: Either support a voluntary military by supporting JROTC and military recruitment centers or we bring back the draft for your city. You can choose which method you prefer.
