"recruit only at patriotic schools"

Good choice! We have enough problems with some of the graduates of the unpatriotic school systems which are so prevalent today.

Semper Fi

I hope that collage ( whats that collage of the professor who was in the news about 8 months ago ? I think it was in Denver ) gets their funding cut if they don't like the military there.

I would have to respectfully disagree with your suggestion that recruiters should only recruit at "patriotic" schools.

I. The position of a few administrators does not necesarraily reflect the views of the students. In fact, in many cases the students strongly disagree with the adminstration.

II. Your suggestion seems to be predicated on the assumption that the students at "unpatriotic" schools are of lesser caliber than those of "patriotic" schools. I would have to dispute that assumption based on several grounds.

A)Students--especially Law School-- chose schools based on their ranking. Because ranking for a large part determines what jobs are available to them. I doubt very much that students,before choosing a school,look at how "patriotic" a school is. Further, even if the students upon arriving realize how "unpatriotic" their school is, it is very difficult to switch schools(especially on that basis alone).

B)A student who decides accept a postion with the military is probably quite patriotic. If they had a problem with the military, then they wouldn't join. By not recruiting at these schools you miss a lot of students.
