I have nothing but the deepest respect for the people pushing this program. What disturbs me more than I can express, is that our schools are not doing this. Every one of the millions of students attending our nation's schools should obtain this knowledge and code of ethics on a continual basis. If they aren't, then heads should roll.

Participants are nominated by their high school principals, selected through local civic groups like the Civitan and Rotary clubs, or chosen from the ranks of their high school ROTC programs. These are probably the kids already least corrupted by the "America is an oppressor nation" theory of history. It sounds like a great program, but I wish they could bring its concepts to the schools, possibly with assemblies, so more could be exposed to a positive outlook on our country.

Sounds like the "History and Moral Philosophy" course from Heinlein. Excellent idea.

I REALLY hate to throw water onto anybody's "RAH-RAH" moment, but I'm a former US Army Officer and I have been teaching in the public schools for the last fourteen years.
IF the officers are from my era...that is commissioned in the early to mid 1980's there might be some hope for them. Odds are better if they were raised in the deep south or far west....but if they themselves are victims of the NWO liberalized educational system then it's no use.
They will just reinforce the notion that guns are evil and that soverignty is a thing of the past......and continue to extoll the benefits of the United Nations and how good it felt to put on the baby blue beanie and do some REAL GOOD there in Bosnia, Haiti and elsewhere....
