Eyebrow sent skyward

When we talk about the irrational hatred of all things military around the Bay Area, we refer to things like this Barry S. Eisenberg letter:

I share letter-writer Denise D'Anne's chagrin at the ludicrous spectacle of the cadets of San Francisco's JROTC, our own child soldiers, parading their militarism around on the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This organization exists to promote military recruitment. It is not some sort of benign social program, as its adherents would have you believe. It is an entrenched anachronism to be rooted out. Its "troops" are dupes.

The military does not belong in any public school system anywhere in any way, shape or form.

That seems a rather odd thing to say in the context of discussions on civil rights. I take it the opposition doesn't quite extend this far.

Militarism is masculine protest ( A.J. gregor probably from others’ writtings) Today, it is feminism, submission ( mentality) .

HAHA this letter on that page is GOLD:

"It would be nice if just once anti-military professional America-haters such as D’Anne would acknowledge that sacrifice. But they are too caught up in the hatred of their own country to do so."
