RE: Bleg

Thanks to all who have commented on my early post about ROTC at universities and colleges in the UW System and private schools.

My intention was simply to get a feel of where the program is functioning.

No doubt there are many reason why an ROTC program might not be at a certain school. The biggest of course being liberal-institutional bias against ROTC. (No doubt the UW-Stout reason.) Then there is student apathy to ROTC, or simply lack of funding.

Since UW-Stout now feels like it can willingly fight the Solomon Amendment, it can willingly go without the $16.3 million in federal aid it's been getting.

Just don't come crying to Madison when you suddenly need $16.3 million more dollars.
